The Fields

85.



Are we truly seeing what is in front of us? Are we seeing the beauty in it? 

I pass these fields each week during my forty minute bus journey from one place to another. They catch my eye each time. My music playing so loudly in my ears it seems to take over, causing my thoughts to go into overdrive about the depths of what life is, what my life is etc. I look at the fields that go on for miles and miles, and in the distance there is a whole city. Where thousands of people are. It's not until I look out at the fields I realise that we are the ants of this earth. Tiny beings surrounded by the chaos. 

The fields are calming. To some they are only fields, those people are right, they are only fields. But if you really look, just stop one day and look out they show more than you would ever imagine. If you allow them too. 

They show me that things aren't always so crazy. Not everything causes my mind to become busy and lost in the mist. They show me that anything is achievable, the city that's in the distance used to be those fields. Our countries are all huge fields that have expanded and developed to help billions of people grow. Like the trees. They are the soil our roots grow from, the surroundings that mould us as individuals. Chaotic like the forests.


I love these 'fields' I'll continue to look out at them, I'll continue to let them show me what life can be, what life is. They'll keep me calm until they become towns or cities. 

Remember we are the tiny ants.

Much love

50. Hello my loves. WOW we've made it to the fiftieth blog post, if you're reading this one and you've read all of the ones before, thank you for sticking with me and my public diary entries. If you are new to my posts then Hello and welcome to my life, my little world of, well, I'm not to sure...this. I'm listening and watching Sia - Elastic Heart, I absolutely love this song and I love the video! It's so incredibly powerful , I watch it without knowing what it is that is keeping me so drawn to it (maybe Shia's body...) but seriously please go and watch it, don't read the comments of the video if it's the first time you're watching it and let me know what you believe it is portraying. I won't tell you what I believe because I don't want my view to alter what you may initially feel.      I feel like it might be a good time to update you guys on my Dad. By the way, everything I write is solely my feelings and from my point of vie...

This fat chick's gotta get fit!!

18. My loves, I have something to share with you... First of all I'm listening to You Me At Six - Room To Breathe and I can't believe how different they look and kinda sound! I like it though. Weird how I loved this band back in the day and it's been years since I've heard their stuff, thanks Kerrang for playing them on the radio a bunch of times today :) I'm also listening to a bit of We Are The Ocean, now I've never listened to these before and I kinda like the sound of them, not overly fussed though to be fair.  Right then, as you can see by the title of this blog, I've got to get fit!! After talking to my work colleague/friend Audrey (hi Audrey if you're reading this) on Monday and Tuesday I have decided to enter the Run For All 10K in Hull on the 14th June 2015...I know what you are thinking, I won't do it but please, please believe in me, please support me. I've told 4 people so far and the reactions weren't fantastic, in fact the...

In difficulty there is strength and laughter

53. Hello my loves... This may seem like a very strange time, some may think I shouldn't write at all right now but as I'm just sat here, waiting, I feel I should (plus I've been given permission from my sister Kellie and Rob) On Wednesday 4th February, which seems like a lifetime ago, I got a phone call to say things with Dad had took a turn and we all needed to get to the home as time was looking short. I can't explain the fear that was going through me. The panic was so strong I was physically shaking until i got to the home to see him.  I had no idea what to expect, what had happened or what was going to happen, I just had to go with it. I guess we all do when faced with these extremes.  I have to admit I was pretty shocked to see that once the sedation had worn off he was back to his smiley self, even dancing along to the music.  But we knew it was serious when they said he was now completely nill by mouth, no food, no liquid.  An influx of...
