LOVE is beautifully ORDINARY

Thank you Justine & Michael 💚
Back in December 2022, we released a film featuring Antony and Margie, who shared with us some of their views on love and relationships. If you haven't seen this first film, you can watch it here - • An ORDINARY BEAUTIFUL ...
Following the overwhelming response to our initial video, we've received many messages asking for further glimpses into the lives of this fabulous couple. Your voices have been heard, and so we recently visited with them again. During our latest encounter, Antony and Margie chat more about the various stages of married life, and some of their secrets to a successful marriage. Their reflections are sure to resonate deeply with those of you who are seeking guidance on matters of the heart.
“An outstanding love doesn’t come from two half-fulfilled people coming together to make one whole, complete life. Outstanding love comes from two whole people coming together to share and enhance their already full and beautiful lives.” ~Pia Scade
Filmed in Colesburg, South Africa.
Featuring Antony and Margie Osler (www.stoepzen.c...)
All of our films are made possible through the generous support of our patrons.

Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael (previously known as Green Renaissance). We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth - that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion.
In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful deck of 52 cards - each card containing a quote from one of our films, paired with the activating visual muses of Lanon Prigge. The aim of this deck is to rekindle child-like curiosity and creativity, helping to navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy.

I know a lot of you are watching this thinking that you have never found love like this...some of you feeling like no one has ever made you feel special, appreciated, or wanted. I get it....I know that feeling, but here's what I think, and maybe it will help you dry the tears that come from your heart. Look in the mirror and see the most wonderful and beautiful person looking back at you...look at the person that has done the very best they could thus far...look at the person who is part of the reason why the sun shines as brightly as it does, when it does. Do you see that person???? That person is YOU....that person is the one you should love right now, and when you fall in love with YOU, then guess what happens....everything gets better from that point on.....and hey, you might even find someone to whom you might just share a love like this beautiful couple one day, who knows! If you are single, and can look at yourself in that mirror of yours, and see the beautiful person looking back at you, just know that the greatest love you can give in this life, is love to yourself.....❤

Y esa amistad sería con tu esposa o esposo hasta el último suspiro.

Yes, two people need the friendship foundation to live a loving life

[@Poopworld7889]

I think you hit it on the nail. Love is finding a BFF that you're also sexually attracted to. The glue is the friendship, it appears.

[@sunset3052]

No word needs to describe love, her smiles and giggles tell everything about their true love.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Beautiful! Thanks so much. Sending love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚

[@drillbabydrill25-d6p]

I misunderstood love for a long time. Like alot of people I was influenced early in life to believe love was romantic or things you really liked. But what I found out is that Love is accepting/allowing all things all the time without judgement. This took me a while to process because it meant accepting equally not just the things I liked but also the things I don't like. Love has been misconstrued as an emotion or feeling. Its actually an impersonal acceptance of what is.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thought-provoking, thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Lovely that these words touched you so deeply. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@laddieokelley6095]

My partner and I were together for 36 years. This week I opened a book to find his handwritten list of old garden roses we had and those we wanted to add to the garden. Roses were our shared love. That and sharing wine together in the shady part of the garden as evening approached are what I remember this week. Those memories are both ordinary and extraordinary to me now.

[@Justbeoktoday]

My love....whenever you think of your beautiful partner of 36 years, reach into your pocket and there you will find him reaching right back onto you. Love like the one you both share, never, ever goes away....it is just as strong as ever. Reach in that pocket and feel his love that is still ever present...❤❤

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Touching words, thank you for sharing. We are glad that you have these ordinary and extraordinary memories. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚

Really a lovely comment, your words say everything. Thank you for sharing. Kindest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@todrapayne]

I started a project a year ago of looking for women who found this kind of love at 35 or later, some after divorce and domestic violence in other relationships. I talked to 50 women and they've all found this type of love! And they didn't find it early. They found it "later" in life. I've created a KZbin podcast based on their stories and I have a book of their stories that will come out in September. All of that to say it's not as rare as we think it is to find someone who'll love us deeply and authentically. I encourage you to believe in it for yourself and be open. Blessings to you guys. By the way, this film is so beautiful!

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you for sharing what you are doing, so very interesting, touching and encouraging. Wishing you much success with the podcast and book. We are so happy you liked this video with Antony and Margie. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚

@todrapayne Thanks so much for your kind words. Some people we simply meet on the street, some are suggested by other people, and some we stumble across while reading articles or watching other videos. We hope that we can share many more inspiring stories with you. 💚

[@todrapayne]

[@Wetlandlady87]

That was my experience as well. Divorce completely transformed my now partner and myself (he is also divorced). I think so much pain taught us both what love really was

These are two people who genuinely enjoy each others' company. Beautiful! This is what I found at 40 and I'm forever grateful for the days I can spend with my man.

Then, I have to keep hope, cause I'm 36 and never been in a relationship.

[@SaidAbdelmalek]

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life. Bob Marley.

[@SaidAbdelmalek]

@@esleslirons2758 The heart has no wrinkles . we all grow old but we have to see how mature we are . And what matters most is our behavior not the appearance. we never age if we are surrounded by our beloved ones. When we are positive , there is always a fertile ground to blossom again and again.

Oh my heart 🥹❤️. I feel like such a useless human being, due to various health issues, that I’d gladly offer you my life in exchange for the return of your dear wife Nicky. 🙏. It’s just not fair that you should suffer. I can feel your pain. I hope that you are able to find some peace and happiness again, in whatever form that may be, to help ease the grief you endure. With love… x

You guys are so cool, in many ways. I love you both ❣️ Also, speaking of cool, you both look kinda cold, with all your thick clothing, scarves, blankets etc. Can’t you afford heating after all these years, or are you a bit stingy with your power usage LoL ?

[@ronroelevink7097]

Love is like building a house. You can design the most fantastic , luxorious palace to live in, promising wonderful times. But it starts with building foundations and then brick by brick build walls and then , as soon as possible , but not before the walls can take it , put a roof on it. And when you move in, all is not done. You need to get used to the layout, or change it along the way. Adapt it to the phases of life. Gradually, when you care for it and maintain it, you and the house become one. And the house will take care of you like you take care of the house. For a lifetime and beyond.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Simply beautiful, thank you! So beautifully explained. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@sushimaui007]

I love how you used a house as an analogy for a loving relationship. I can attest to that after being with my husband 41 years. The "walls" of our home have needed repainting more than a few times, but we think our house is quite special. We're expecting a grandson soon. He'll be or 4th grandchild. We're blessed. But it takes continual effort and is very well worth the time ❤

[@NyarlieBummer]

Absolutely this is, I'm still single for longest period of my time because I'm still searching this kind of sync, passion, respect of love, because now a days most people are complicated, and chaotic inversely due to many influence of others who try mimic or put in, in their life and ignore the simplest form, which is the process of individuality of timeline and the result is complicated people complicated behavior complicated attitude.

This November will be twenty years for us. I also loved both interviews of this couple. Every night we get to watch the sun go down, and we eat together. Recently we witnessed the Eclipse of the Century on the roof of our building. We laugh together, and we sleep together. Every day we have our "afternoon nap" together as well. I buy stuffed animals. There is a menagerie of animals on his desk. I have a collection of some on mine as well. We end each others sentences, we cook each other dinner, we wash each others dishes. And I do the laundry.

This video is poetry in itself, so beautiful...the cadence of words, the colors, the atmosphere...I've always believed that the "ordinary is extraordinary", just haven’t found my person to share my philosophy of life with...everyone is so engrossed in pursuing, achieving/attaining that they forget to just be, feel, express, give of their time without an agenda. This may be why calm and satisfaction often weigh heaviest in the autumn of life. I'm saving this video as a reminder that people like this actually exist ❤

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you so much for sharing this-it’s beautifully said and resonates deeply. It’s true, the extraordinary often hides in the ordinary, waiting for us to pause and notice. We’re honored this video connected with you in such a meaningful way, and we hope it serves as a gentle reminder whenever you need it. Here's to finding those rare moments of calm and connection in a busy world. Justine and Michael x

After years and years of healing, I feel that my heart is beginning to open up again. I am the kind of guy who likes to perceive things rather than analyse. This couple’s sharing brought tears to my eyes. I wish everyone finds the love they seek and that which is best for them.

For them, it's been wonderful without the children at home because they actually had a solid relationship even before having kids, most people lack that foundation. I wish more people like them existed on the planet!

[@trisnaekowiyatnikawaii3860]

True love is simple, sincere, modest but profound. It makes your mundane days more colourful and you suddenly feel like the richest person in the world because you don't need anything and you feel complete as a person. The desire to give without return increases and the most precious time of your life is the time you spend with someone you love (laughing together, crying together, listening and understanding each other, growing old together). Seeing them smile is the happiest moment of your life. You need nothing more than him or her.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

[@vanhvalala]

I feel so much peaceful watching this video, it's so true that "Ordinary is Extraordinary". Many people mistake love for something strongly romantic, do not appreciate ordinary moments together, trying to find someone called "the right one" even though they're in a relationship. But that doesn't really exist, it's just someone who fulfills your needs when the last ones didn't, but soon it will come to the phase of arguments, challenges and not understanding each other, that's when relationships often terminate. Everything in life costs something, true love does too. True love is something that means accepting and working out challenging things together, holding hands no matter what, and has no place for selfishness. Every time I see an old couple holding hands on the street, I smile and wonder how many times they've forgiven each other. The sun always shines brightly at the end of the road, if you're brave enough to get to the end of it :) Wish our life were not as hard and true love would find its way to us

Oh, that cute couple is back 🤩! I thought they couldn't get any cuter, but I was wrong! Now I can imagine him getting scolded for leaving the butter out and asking himself ... Shall I ever have toast again? Shall I have toast without butter next time? Maybe I should put the butter away? ... and leaves the butter out again next day 😂. But one thing will be for sure: his jokes will make her giggle and forget his flaws! They were made for each other! Aloha & happy weekend from Berlin to you, Justine & Michael ❤🧡💛💚💜

Sounds like this couple had a well balanced life of communication, time away from each other and that given time and space alone helps to appreciate the other person much more.

I met my husband when I was 22 and now we are getting ready to retire! It has been so much of a blessing and it has been a fast ride! All I know which is probably not much is that we have to say yes to each other, while we both charge and grow into our selves! We are not the same people we married! We are completing each other’s sentences! We laugh at each other at the things we can’t do now and we reminisce! We are each other’s best friends!

Мне нравится как они держатся за руки,как они присутствуют в жизни друг друга и слышат друг друга,это действительно мелочи, без которых невозможны здоровые отношения...Они ценят это. Есть пары,у которых совершенно другие приоритеты,..и каждый имеет то ,что имеет... Каждый имеет право быть счастливым на своих собственных условиях. "Любящий многих - знает женщин.Любящий одну - познает любовь ".

[@longlost8424]

love is learning the ability to let go of the past in favor of a present and future that has the possibility of being better...... not that this is some guarantee, however allowing yourself the ability to forgive (both your past relationships as well as yourself) allows you to envision the better aspect of life.... in the end, love isn't just a feeling, its the biggest choice that you'll ever make in your life......

You're so right. But what to do if I'm bad at making choices?

[@longlost8424]

@@xWabbli if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice..... rush; freewill, permanent waves, 1980..... our perspectives of events (particularly when it pertains to us) all stem from how we see ourselves. if you have a somewhat negative perception, then our choices look off, while having a positive outlook generally provides us with likewise results. I've never suffered from a negative view of myself, so in my 61 years of consciousness I remain optimistic in spite of outside influences.... I'm not saying I never get a flat tire on the way to work in the rain, but those instances don't negatively impact my hour, day, week or month.... I've just never had the time for the negativity.....

We see each other’s flaws and she still puts up with me😂. I wish everyone could have this. Love isn’t great romantic gestures or the breathless excitement of a brand new relationship. Love is what’s left when that excitement fades. It’s in the little shared jokes that make us laugh. It’s in the way this man looks at his wife when she’s talking. It’s in a thousand moments that need no words. It really is a beautifully ordinary thing. ❤
