This Saturday I watched the film Seven Pounds. Please don't read further if you have not seen it, but to others, you'll know how it presents the themes of suicide and yet redemption beautifully interwoven. Well, I was walking by the Clifton Suspension bridge in the evening, and saw another photographer setting up his tripod on the edge of the lookout platform. I wondered just how many photographs of the bridge are out there taken from exactly the same angle. And with the themes of suicide and redemption still rippling in my thoughts, I stepped back from the edge and tried to feel that difference in the bridge. Although the Samaritans Care sign exists as a reminder of those who have before found themselves in the sorrowful act of terminal consolation, it still stands as a last choice for salvation. Someone, somewhere always cares.
