Opa Johan
Musing On Love
How great it
was when I was young and in love. I thought a marriage was the highest pitch in
life.
But as I mused
today, how sad were it so. What’s the use of getting married were it not
possible to reach a still higher pitch,
level of happiness and bliss?
I never knew,
realized that love could even grow grander, richer, mature in growing old,
despite sickness, poor outward appearance, lack of money. And I thought of the
happiness, joys of being a couple, a mother, a family, of sharing, of sorrow,
of pain, of want, of “fidelity” and “infidelity”, the so sweetness of peace after a violent war, ...
What is a
happy marriage without having to face the storms of life? A dull, stupid haven.
Sure, Opa
Johan has just his simple down-to-earth thoughts, simple talk, he can never
speak or write poetry in riddles.
