Looking out to sea is a universally enjoyed passtime across the globe, it's a natural backdrop to so many reflective or romantic experiences and most of us have some experience of emotion or life experience that is immediatly brought to the fore front of the mind when looking out to sea.
Today i went with my parents and sister to visit my elderly grandmother for possibly the last time,the home she is in is right by the sea in whitstable in kent and the location is beautiful. Whilst we all sat there and talked my grandfather appeared with some very old looking photo albums and we proceded to look through them, looking at the love and life of my grandparents moved me so much-seeing them young and very much in love was moving in the extreme. Looking at these little pictoral time capsules from my familys past made me think so much about the passage of time, the history we all create and the eventual demism of our physical being, looking at my familys very history in the making was indeed a very thought prevoking experience and one that i wasnt expecting.
Seeing somebody at the end of their life's journey unable to communicate propperly anymore come alive and remeniss with loving accuracy and fondness has knocked me for six, to see this old ladys love win through and beat age and fatigue was inspiring and it reaffirmed that love is all we need when it comes down to it. I already have times where my fond memory autopilot takes over when i think back to lovely days and fond memorys and i have an ability to recount storys with absolutely no thought needed as they flow straight from my heart.
I so want the world to realise that love is this force that is there for all of us to celebrate , share and that it is there inside us from the moment we are born to the day that we die, if any of you had seen my grandmother today looking and sounding so animated when loving memorys were stirred in her you like me would realise that if we share love unconditionally we can make and share the spark that i saw in my gran each and every day of our lives.
As we left my grandfather walked us to the car and said his goodbye's to us it occured to me that this is all so damn simple, love will always conquer,maybe i am getting older and naturally more sentimantal but the things that we keep bottled up about our feelings are a sad testament to the social castration that seem's oh so prevalent within the human race. Lets not wait till the odds are stacked against an individual and they are about to die to share feelings,memorys and lifes expereinces and love-why not make love and sharing the core to your life and make each and every day special to somebody you love and cherish.
My family and i walked on thre beach and ate chips later in the day which was nice at which point i looked out to sea and relaised as i saw that i was to be in the background of a tourists photograph and that i too would one day be an annonymous person long dead in the corner of a photographic representation of someone's life and times. At that point i seagull swooped down next to me and i realised it only had one single leg-and as irrelevent as this may seem it really summed up my days feelings of making the most of each and every day i am alive and the constant fight we all have-what ever species we may be against the odds.
Much love to my family
