A gateway is like a second, or a day, or a lifetime, or a chance.
It is a way in (or a way out), it can be a dream, it can be walked on by you and by others.
The one thing it cannot be is walked on twice.
Every second, every day, every time a gateway is walked through it is a different gateway.
The marks left by a second or a day or footprints in the mud cannot be erased except by other marks.
Every gateway tells a story, like the story of life, or of the world – but ancient events become blurred. They are still real, they still happened, but other, maybe less important marks overlay them and, eventually, they are gone.
A life is like a gateway, busy and marked and trampled and scarred – and, at the end of the day, when we look back it is not always easy to remember how all the marks got there. But they are there all the same.
And the different footprints leading in and leading out?
Well, every gateway is a new experience – and every experience changes you.
*** The inspiration for this piece came from the human footprints fossilised into the rocks on the beaches near Barry – and a gateway – in a farm my husband and I loved and lost. ***
