eternity

In the beginning, I thought about it and it didn't sink in. The fact that there could be no more time left. No more time...for what? I've had a pretty decent life. Happy childhood, made my parens proud, got into a good university, made amazing friends, gotten very drunk, been a fool in love (briefly, although I don't really care much for the fool part), seen a small bit of the world (who sees the ENTIRE world anyway?) been on my own, performed Bharatnatyam for Lee Kwan Yew... yep, I've done it all.

Okay, maybe not all. I'd love to go to another Pacific isle sometime and perhaps do one more play. It'd be nice to get really, really fit, lose the paunch and be able to do cartwheels. I must go to Europe with Mom and Dad. And see my bro for a little bit in LA. And do a few more literature courses.

Then I thought of those lights. The ones they put up on the trees in front of UCC, all the way upto YIH during the commencement time in May. Little colored stars within reach. Twinkling, teasing wonder...
Confounded silly, trifles that upset you when you think you're gonna die!!
Its wonderful to be alive..its so wonderful to be alive.
