Wild light show over the Aguilles. Felt like nature’s way of commemorating the end of a chapter. Three years ago I drove out to Chamonix in my van, excited and apprehensive, not knowing how long I’d stay. Although this place was somewhere I lived on and off for 3 years it never really felt like ‘home’. Chapters ending and new starts are fairly arbitrary ideas when you live a life as fluid as mine. In reality an end of a chapter means an end of a potential future. You imagined you found something constant something you could bet on being there... And then a page turned and you find yourself driving back under the English channel learning a lesson you’ve already been taught countless times: the future doesn’t exist yet, all you ever have is right now. I never got a firm grasp of French in my time here, the words never stuck in the mind or slipped off the tongue but I do know one phrase: ‘c’est la vie’. 🤷🏼‍♀️🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

carwyn74 Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future, And time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable. What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibility Only in a world of speculation. What might have been and what has been Point to one end, which is always present. Footfalls echo in the memory Down the passage which we did not take Towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden. My words echo Thus, in your mind. But to what purpose Disturbing the dust on a bowl of rose-leaves I do not know. Other echoes Inhabit the garden. Shall we follow?”

gillyaway We once said hello to each other while i was coming out of the aibnb in Chamonix to catch a van to the airport and you were in your van parked in front doing whatever. Smiled and said hello. It was nice i did not know who you were, and now you are my favourite female climber :)

pimsy_ Perfectly written, Hazel. When a chapter ends it just means you can always read over it (your memories) again in the future. My wife and I are also looking at ending our chapter here in France after 4 and a half years. Still can't speak French either! Lol

bogpetre How do you capture something like this? Was watching it out the window the other night and thinking of taking a photo but couldn't figure out how to time the shots.

reyhanlaurent Brexit, Hazel leaving France... Is the world going crazy? Enjoy the present, have a nice future.(see you in Giberville)

shapeofthingstoni As someone who has moved around following hope and opportunity, this resonates. Good luck with whatever comes next.
