The Ups and Downs of Life Geoff Lowe Hull |
The Ups and Downs of Life In the vast open air we are climbing up Le Suchet, near the Swiss border. Back home, in stuffy carehomes, old women are trying to get up out of their seats. At the summit there are hang-gliders hanging about in mid-air. In the lounges of residential homes people are lounging about in old chairs. We see cowslips, bluebells, orchids by our own footsteps. They see each others’ faces in the same seats. We watch curlews and kites, soaring and swooping. They watch television, fixed in the corner. When I’m back I’m going to share my stories with them, bring them flowers, get them hang-gliding and swooping about with wide open cardigans.
