The Memory Wanderer: Oranges

Oranges

Maybe it was this morning's spectacular sunrise, or maybe it was....

....the equally spectacular colours of some of our last remaining marigolds, or maybe it was today's bright sunshine and 14C temperature, or maybe it was something completely different which caused....

....one of the 'red' admirals to emerge from what should, according to this earlier post, have been its winter hibernation to flaunt its glorious orange colour.

The Memory Wanderer

I'm at the wrong end of the road, a short distance to look forward to and a long way travelled, so I spend more time looking back, enjoying the memories, and less time in anticipation of the way ahead. The road trodden has been a good one, a rich and winding one, over which I hold no regrets. There is much still to do - only the end of the track ahead intimidates.

Time is mine now, so I remember, sometimes deliberately, sitting in the warm sunshine, sometimes because my mind, as if keen to help, suddenly gives me a flash of memory, a vivid picture which, like an exploding rocket, illuminates a moment in life; and then fades.

I have seen its dark side but, in general, the world has been kind to me. I have few regrets, I have many blessings, so these thoughts are offered as a celebration of a fortunate life.
