An anniversary is just a recurrence of the date of a past event. My year is full of anniversaries. Some of them stand out more than others. The death of my father and brother. The birth of my son and daughter. I had a violent episode happen to me decades ago. The anniversary of that event brought me pain for years, till it morphed into the joy of being alive and well. I love anniversaries of all the milestones in my life, good and bad. Each one of them, is a remembrance of the voyage of my life that I am on, which steers me, not in any particular direction, but forward. Tomorrow is my 26th wedding anniversary. My wife and I embarked on our journey together, 26 years ago, and are sailing in the sea of existence. We have weathered all kinds of seasons together. We have travelled together through peaks and valleys. She has been a constant in my life for 26 years. My anchor in the ground, preventing me from being adrift. I have been on other parallel voyages including being a son, father, colleague, friend, pet-owner and others. All of these voyages have made my life buoyant.. Life is perhaps a voyage of sorts. I myself have not been a constant in my own life, as I have changed in immense ways. I have both joy and scars in my heart to show for it. I am not looking for new places in this voyage. This voyage does not have a destination. The voyage itself, is the destination. I am not looking for new landscapes in this voyage but new eyes to see and feel it better………
