Given the pending deadline faced by Iraq tomorrow morning, perhaps we can reflect upon on this little piece tonight:
“I should not make any promises right now,
But I know if you pray somewhere in this world,
Something good will happen.”Hafiz, 1319-1389, Persian Poet and Teacher
I guess this is one of those more contemplative days.
People would often give you the advice of ‘letting go’ or ‘moving on’, especially when something unpleasant has happened. I am not 100% convinced if this is the best. Seems to me there are so many little episodes in one’s life, and these stories will remain untold if no one strives to uphold them in the memory. Would be such a waste, wouldn’t it!? What happened to the lessons learnt, the emotions at the time of the experiences, etc., which culminate in the person we are, right here and right now?
For the past half hour, have been following the directions given by Jasra so that I can put smileys in my entries, but no luck so far 🙁
This evening, while roller blading along the canal nearby, a thought came into my head – as they often do… 🙄 In this day and age of plans, and milestones, and objectives, it may not be such a bad goal to aim to be a millionaire!? Or, CEO of some big company? Well, in those moments, with a cool breeze against my face, and balancing on two sets of wheels, I decided that my goal in life – as of now, at least – is to find out what it means to be alive!
I am not a cricket player, but I am a fan of One Day cricket – especially when the Aussies are playing. But, if you had asked me in the mid-80’s what I’d thought about cricket, I would have said that it’s just about as interesting as watching paint dry! One Day cricket has changed my perception of how exciting the game can be, with its swashbuckling hitting and, very often, nail-biting finishes.
