Anders als sonst bricht er diesmal nicht zu einer großen Reise auf, sondern erkundet seine Nachbarschaft, macht kleinere Ausflüge und bekommt viel Besuch unter seinem großen alten Bodhi-Baum.

Das, worauf wir uns immer verlassen haben, ist plötzlich verschwunden oder verändert sich. Dabei sind es gerade diese Veränderungen, die unser Leben prägen: Geburt, Krankheit, Tod, Heirat, Scheidung, eine neue Beziehung, Beginn oder Ende eines Lebensabschnitts.
