Today, The
Grandma has started a new adventure with a new family. In this case, the
chosen family has been The Holmes, a
nice and kind family plenty of women.
We have listened to MJ and her
instructions and we have started to meet each other. We have shared good moments talking about the origin of surnames until
the end of the meeting when N and MJ have arrived
with horrible news.
We don’t know anything about the closer future but it’s sad
and dark for all the family, a terrible joke in April Fools.
From our ancestors come our names, but from our virtues our honors.
The Collins
Family has arrived to Barcelonatovisit the Sagrada Família, the most famous Antoni Gaudi’s work, although
it’s not the most interesting: LaColònia Güell is the most
enigmatic one.
This visit has been a personal gift of MJ, N and M for the family.
After taking
the public transport for avoiding the World Mobile Congress crowd, they have
reached their objective: staying at 10:15 in the main entrance called Façana del Naixement. They’ve obtained
their audio guides and they’ve entered into the Temple for discovering the
power of the nature in Gaudí’s architecture.
The weather has been fantastic: sunny and warm day and this has helped the
visitors to experiment the mystery of the colours inside.
The Collins Family has taken lots of photos and has talked about the
symbolism of Gaudí and the Sagrada Família parallelisms with Majorca’s Cathedral.
Animals like
turtles, tortoises, snakes, snails, salamanders and lizards have appeared from
different and hidden places of the building and different Sant Jordi (Saint George) have protected us during the visit.
The Sagrada Família
Once the ground
plant has been visited, The Collins
Family has gone to contemplate the essence of life’s mysteries in the other
side of the Temple: La façana de la
Passió created by Josep Maria
Subirachs an incredible and magic hieroglyph
about life and existence.
Symbols of Alfa and Omega have reminded us that all
things, even life, have a beginning and an end; an enigmatic magic square has
showed us how important are mathematics in our existence; the maze has explained
us how difficult sometimes can be choosing the correct way and the Salvador Espriu’s words has evocated
the importance of respect and tolerance between different cultures and races.
Two hours and a
half later, exhausted, The Collins
Family has returned to the hotel in Sant
Boi de Llobregat, a beautiful town near Barcelona,
next to one of the most important places around the planet: La Colònia Güell.
Who knows where the world may
turn us, only a fool would say
Who knows what the fate may
have in store
Follow the light of truth as far
as our eyes can see
How should we knows where that
may be? How should we know?
