[Dec. 22nd, 2011|12:30 am] |
You, enlightened, self-sufficient, self-governed, endowed with gifts above your fellows, the world expects you to produce as well as to consume, to add to and not to subtract from its store of good, to build up and not tear down, to ennoble and not degrade. It commands you to take your place and to fight your fight in the name of honor and of chivalry, against the powers of organized evil and of commercialized vice, against the poverty, disease, and death which follow fast in the wake of sin and ignorance, against all the innumerable forces which are working to destroy the image of God in man, and unleash the passions of the beast. There comes to you from many quarters, from many voices, the call of your kind. It is the human cry of spirits in bondage, of souls in despair, of lives debased and doomed. It is the call of man to his brother ... such is your vocation; follow the voice that calls you in the name of God and of man. The time is short, the opportunity is great; therefore, crowd the hours with the best that is in you.

6 years. that's a long time. scattered memories. flashes of the past. almost a book chronicling life, yet not quite. missing gaps, missing moments. it's like a picture reel from various rolls, or a scratched dvd. broken pieces of a glass sculpture. some important data, but mostly nonsensical random thoughts attempting to capture the environment, the beauty. like grabbing at the water running from the tap. but then again, it was to find solace. brief respite from the vicissitudes of life. one cannot hope to live life twice. |

| what is your life worth? |

is it by what he has accomplished? how productive he is? what he could achieve?
is it a measure of his knowledge? or of his experience? perhaps wisdom?
by his networth? how much he earns? how much he could earn?
do you measure it by his IQ? his education qualifications? his general knowledge?
is it measured by his potential? his goals and ambitions? his character?
is it by the time he has left? or the time he has spent?
what is the measure of a man? |

today will be the day i change. that's what i told myself yesterday. that's what i told myself today. that's what i'll tell myself tomorrow.
and in the end, the only thing that has changed is the date. |

the minute hand begins its descent once again as the clock strikes two. the pendulum swings from the left, to the right.
from the left, to the right. left, right. marking time.
left. right.
a stoic reminder of the night withering away. |
