An Inspired Poem
Inspired from visiting KC ;p
I walk there
Then I walk back
That was then
This is now
The seasons take their turns
The leaves change their colors
That was then
This is now
Life in every moment
Time passes in words and movement
That was then
This is now
Tears give way to laughter
Smiles give way to frowns
That was then
This is now
Years add on to each other
As we walk on together
That was then
This is now
Creative Time
“When listening to music we have available the possibility of experiencing ourselves as both familiar and changed. We lose a momentary sense of time, space and personal identity, while also retaining an overall sense of being and feeling. When we connect with a process of receiving internally a music from outside ourselves, the past and present sit together in relationship, in and through time, as the music moves along with its and our past, newly experienced in the present, in motion towards a future that is being experienced as it is being shaped. So this is creative time I’m talking about…
This is Alfred Brendel playing the slow movement from the Emperor Piano concerto. I want you to listen to the first piano entry. I think Alfred Brendel does this thing with time when he plays this, because it is actually impossible to tell where the phrase is going to end as he’s playing it.”

Once Again
Has it already been almost a year since we experienced the heavenly clear blue skies and the fresh tranquil air of Chiangmai?
When we could slow down, look at the clouds, admire passing scenery, and take in life in its simple beauty?
In less than 24 hours, another adventure awaits – and I hope it will be another good one 🙂
Today’s Soundtrack: Juliet Pang’s “Once Again”
Too Few Are The Days
Too few are the days
Where one can simply sit
And feel the space around
And contemplate the weight of air
And the precious fleetingness of time.
When A Day is Not Enough
When a day is not enough,
But a second longer would make the day too much.
Hector and the Search for Lost Time
If there is Infinity within every Moment,
and a Moment encapsulated within each Note,
There is therefore, Infinity within every Note.
And Music remains, as one of the elements considered Timeless.
Living in the Present Past
Day after day,
The sun sets over the seemingly unchanged horizon.
But time has crept forward,
Seconds by seconds.
How do we live in the present, when,
The moment we realize it exists,
It immediately moves on to the past?
In Time.
A few incidents involving rude people and people with poor attitudes, specifically those of the younger generation, left me leaving work today feeling really disappointed and downcast.
And the whole “what am I doing this for” cycle starts again.
If we indeed have free will, then why are so many circumstances not within our control?
If time is really ours, then why are we constantly rushing against it, in a bid to outwit that which we cannot grasp?
If this life was really meant for the ultimate goal (open to personal interpretations of respective readers),
Then why are we spending so much time, doing so much that takes us further and further from it?
The March of Time
An afternoon of tranquility and peace
Accompanied by my thoughts and solitude.
Disrupted only by the unforgiving and relentless march of time.
