Silverlinings
Written by Rahima Fitzwilliam Hall on Thursday the 20th of June 2013
'So life is beautiful but painful too',that's what they say over coffee, to make silverlinings, they say 'this is where you really grow - this pain' and I think of the light on the side of an aubergine on a summers day in Stoke Newington stilling me to a silent celebration of life as it is. And the way a lentil can sprout all on it's own in a bed of damp cotton wool not even in want of a windowsill, everything it needs it has, and how I'll never remember being born. The beauty or the pain. And how quickly I forget that the air in me was once in you too and that everything I need I have.
