Time Flies

It has been almost two months since I last wrote. Time really flies. This year moves forward really fast. And people say that you feel like that when you are old. So I guess I am old.

This is not yet the time to ruminate and ponder on the events of the year - that's reserved for the end of the year - but I can't help to think that there have been so many things that happened this year, the external things that have impacted my life. Internally though, is another matter. I don't think I have moved anywhere much. Neither forward, nor backward. And that's scary.

Even in the period that I have been away from these pages, many things have happened. 4 people that I know, or know of, have been diagnosed with cancer, a dear friend with MS and maybe worse, a friend's grandma passed away, a few breakups, a new project, and of course ramadhan, and eid, in the week past. He came back too, not once, but twice. The first time was heaven, the second, we'll see tomorrow.

And in my head, Brian Adams is singing Heaven.

"Now nothing can take you away from me, we've been down that road before, and that's over now, you keep me coming back for more..."

it's about time. thought you were caught in a time warp or something.
hey, time flies when you're having fun too. but then again, that song that says that was a sad one too.
oh, must we continue to soak ourselves in this miserable mire?
must we let our soul sink into its murky depths?
can't we allow our spirits to rise from this state so dire,
and let life be free, be at its best?
