Carpenter

The quest for an education is not about attaining a piece of "paper" as it proves nothing about the depth and inner soul of a person. The point of education is to equip the mind with "tools" as to a carpenter who knows his tools required to build a table. But there are carpenters who can't build a table even he knows his tools.........

Abstract

The dust particles settle on the surfaces, time after time. Word by word as I type the dust unseen by eyes moves away from the keyboard but then as the wind blows through the window, more unseen dust follows. Some travel from the apartment above and below, some may even travel as far as from 10 thousand miles.

Every beat of the heart indicates a gush of blood circulating all over the body bringing life to every moment. Every breathe we make wakes up every senses we are blessed with. But all these never makes one feeling more alive than pain.

The mind's filled with thoughts whether we are thinking or not. It never stops working.

It's only the grandfather's clock needs winding, in order to fulfill its one and only purpose. But yet its a noble cause as to remind us, how much time is left for us the breathing ones. Yes, we created time but yet we also limited our life since we created time.

The dust's still flying in. The blood's still flowing. The mind's still thinking and I am still typing.

I've had just lived a short tender moment as I let my thoughts roam by forgetting time so my heart can take a break from all that "over- worryings".

Now its time to sleep. Back to limiting life with time.

Your pain is for me. Thank you

I know the title did not sound very auspicious for my first entry of the year, but read on.

I happened to talk to an old friend yesterday morning. He was full of anger. I don't know what got into him. But being friends for so many years. I knew right away his outbreak was nothing what it seemed to be. Lets just say different people has different way when comes to expressing oneself. He was loud and aggressive. If our conversation was overheard by anyone, 99percent of the human race would be mistaken with the content and the intent.

I actually had a smile on my face when he scolded me non stop for like 15minutes. Don't get me wrong, I am not the type who would let anyone do so. That moment made me felt like I'm enjoying a cup of coffee. Bitter yet sweet at the same time. Bitter part is, I got him so worried. Sweet part is that I know I've got a good friend for life and with that I am able to walk on charcoal even when made my feet hurts every step I make.

Our conversation ended well as usual by comforting each other. I did the same to him on some occasions but of course not this time, this was his "moment". But when during my "moment", I was told almost no one can outspoke me. LOL

This has always been the way of how we got along. He proclaimed on many occasions that if there's anyone who knew him, I maybe the one somehow. He too is one of a few that knew me well. Words meant nothing. Its always the heart that counts. I am very happy and lucky that I have friends like him who truly cares and love me, nothing superficial and no agenda.

I had a wonderful closure for 2010. I hope you did too. 2011 is looking very promising. I'm looking forward to every sunrise. Cheers.
