When we came home from New Zealand last
year we found out that my oldest and closest
friend had been given 6 months to a year to live.
When I asked him when he had found out he said
that he had seen the doctor on March 26, 2009.
When I thought about it afterwards that was
the day we had been on Piha Beach in New
Zealand. So when I was on top of the world
seeing my
family and
being on my favourite beach in N.Z. he
was being told the worst thing you can
hear. When I was taking the pictures on
Piha beach I had in mind the patterns
the waves were making as they broke
on the beach and hoped to make a
sequence about them.
One evening I found myself typing words into the computer and after an hour
or so found what could be called a poem. I printed it out and showed Marilyn
my wife. She said that for something I had written it was brilliant. I recorded
myself reading the poem and the sequence came into being.
Although I had finished the sequence before Michael died, I could not show
it to him. I will be showing it to his wife Linda at the begining of April.
Wish me luck.
