Living together is a walk ...

4 months ago

To love is a sweet and deep feeling.

Obviously, after 6 decades, it's too late for many things. Maybe this is a rule for good living, or something like be happy and don't look at who.

I firmly believe that at that age it is not too late to love when two people run together, caring about each other.
I remember recently that my husband and I were at the beach and suddenly he disappeared from the apart hotel where we were staying that weekend, I ran out to look for him, and...

... There he was, filming the sunset in Punta Arenas, on the island of Margarita, Venezuela, and I could only imagine that this moment sums up our existence, after celebrating 47 years of marriage.

Because that's what finding each other right now is all about. He's 69, I'm 60 and something else, added up, the sunset. The years we have left... Thank God.

To do everything so that they turn out to be as luminous, cordial, emotional and subtle as that way the sun has to hide in the evenings. No stridency, no scandals due to differences between two.

During this age, you do not confront because why confront, argue. What a bummer!!! That you want to ruin the days, the everyday life and the sunrise with the right to breakfast. That's so stupid. You do only what provokes you. You have your own life and you respect the other's.

No one is going to stop the sun when it's time to leave, the sunset. Neither is the way he does it. That's how it happens when we're this age. No one is going to change the other. Leave it at that. Love yourself like this. Laugh at what would have made you bitter before because that has no remedy.

"No one is going to stop the Sun, when it's time to leave" makes me reflect that life is a blink of an eye and that material things are worthless, my mom would say "but money does help, daughter", we just have to live every moment that the universe gives us, because that's why we came into the world, to live! Tasty.

I always tell my children that even at this age you allow yourself to imitate what you admire, for example, this sunset of life, which my husband recorded, that weekend in March, and to them who are his life.

What makes me fall in love with this "exemplary man" is that every time he gets into a crisis because things in his business get tangled up, he thinks about his children, who still work in our business in the distance, it's the only thing he wants in life, and everything passes him by, he moves on and sleeps soundly. Relieved. He made it.

Just to enter the sea hugging and stay a long time, letting the small waves, in little breeze, shake us while we chat tasty, makes us feel blissful in this blessed climate of my Venezuelan Caribbean, every day of the year.

We are two souls, such for such, when we are in front of the sea, and that is what unites us so much.

The retreat is not on any page of our agenda, neither immediate, nor in the medium term. This is how we are both happy , and tomorrow will be another day. But I'm left with this sunset embedded in the retina. These are moments that fill me with the most immense joy. Thank you for the photo, beloved husband.

What do you think about this metaphor, of the sunset and living together?, let's talk in comments.
