Satis Shroff Poetry Night at Tantra Poetry Night at Tantra Family Acquaintances Go Back A CROSS-COUNTRY SKI TOUR (Satis Shroff) It was a chilly Sunday morning in February when Stefan, his wife Barbara, and I, decided to do a bit of cross-country skiing in the Feldberg area, which happens to be the highest peak in Baden-Württemberg (south-west Germany). We’d received a call 8am from Frau Heinz (Stefan’s mother) who had made a rendezvous near the kiosk in Feldberg. After a short drive from Freiburg up the Vale of Hell, past the Hirschsprung, where the stag in stone was visible, we were in the skiing area. The Hirschsprung reminded me of the Chovar Gorge in the vicinity of Katmandu, where according to legend, Manjushri cut through a gorge to let out the water from Katmandu Valley, which was then a lake.
