Peer Through

Unbelievable nature! A window in the midst of horizontal and vertical strata. The various shades of brown contrasts deeply with the azure sky. It instils the yearning to embark on a journey – a journey over the massive rocks – an urge to climb high – to climb high to peer through the amazing window. What is beyond? What wonders awaits us? What mysteries await us? Alas, we have to venture to peer through and see what lies beyond. Subsequently we have to prepare ourselves to face the challenges of a changing world.

And beyond the deep, dark blue sea. One ponders and wonders – was a ruler used to draw the precise line which demarcates the land from the sea? The horizon meets the infinite sky in the perfection of nature! To manage to surpass obstacles enhances the will-power to open our wings and soar up and fly – fulfilled by satisfaction!

A calm walk by the sea… a breeze gently sweeping across the beaches and cliffs as the fresh sea air puts one at peace. The rotten stench of garbage, however, quickly reels one back to reality. Rubbish can clearly be seen around the coast of Malta, most particularly near those beaches which garner the most public attention. After a day of crowded tourists and locals, the beach is deserted, but plastic bags, bottles, cans and cigarette butts remain. The refuse teams ensure that the beach is relatively clean by the morning rush of people, but it is the mentality of the people that needs to change. Part of the inborn Maltese mentality, it seems, ensures that everywhere they go, some sort of refuse is left behind. The sea is a delicately balanced ecosystem, and trash poisons the water and has the potential to kill marine creatures as well as their predators. If we do not change, we will be surrounded by a murky swamp which harbours no life.

This being Malta, and Malta being in the middle of one of the hottest seas in the world, fair weather and strong winds are a constant factor throughout the year. Our culture has revolved around the sea since our very origin, and events like the Middle Sea Race help the Maltese reconnect to their roots, even if not taking part directly, fostering a sense of awareness of the condition of the sea. Events such as these should be encouraged, for besides being a tourist attraction, they also endow upon the people who participate in them a sense of discipline, professionalism and, above all, respect for the abilities of different countries, as well as encouraging a love for the sea and responsibility as to the state it is in, for it reminds us all that the sea is integral to our lives, and that it needs to be protected.
