The All Consuming Life

Sunrise at UWA Boatclub

This my friends was the day that the world found out that little Cleo Smith had been found alive. Some good news after a week reeling from some of the worst.

It was such a beautiful sunrise, full of hope and promise.

I thought after my last post that I would be back every day… well at least once a week… but it is harder than I thought to get back into the habit and well, life has been distracting consuming every second of brainspace.

Remember Brain Space with Tim and Debbie? I used to do a fair impersonation of Debbie when I was 14. I digress…

I have been educated in Jewish funerals since we last met. And I’m impressed. I like the fact that the coffins are basic and everyone gets the same. Fancy shiny coffins that cost thousands of dollars make me feel slightly ill. What a waste. I like the fact that people are given mandated space to grieve. I like the thought of carrying a square of cloth for a week so that you are carrying your beloved with you. I appreciated the beautiful singing of the rabbi and the message that we carry the legacy of the passed by acting as he would have acted. There were eulogies but no flowers, no photos, no video montages, no sometimes dodgy music selections.

I don’t want to be buried but I liked the way the congregation was invited to help fill in the grave. Three shovelfuls. Put the spade back in the earth between people. Standing in the dirt, it felt real.

Selfie corner

So this could become a regular segment. Last time I added a selfie with Elizabeth, today I bring you Jen who I caught up with for the first time since school back in 1983. Yes we had what I call school back in those days before the internet.

Me and Jen

My memory of Jen was that she was one of the cool and a bit naughty day girls. Way more cool than me. She remembers me as brainy. Not sure where she got that from. Oh wait. She must have heard my Debbie impersonation.

I’m afraid she couldn’t tell any of my work colleagues any incriminating stories. I mean my nickname was Doris Day and you can’t get straighter than that. Very boring for them, and me.

But it was lovely catching up and finding out about nearly 40 years of each other’s lives and how they intersected.
