On Nostalgia

I bumped into an old friend at a party last night. I know her from the social circles we used to go around 3 years ago. We were talking about those days, a little saddened that everyone has moved on since. But we agreed that if things did stay the same, then there would be nothing to look back on for us to think to ourselves, "Wow, those were good times!" I'm glad all those lives converged at that point. May we appreciate the connections we have now, and acknowledge the winds of change.

On Grass

Over the weekend went to my favourite park in the neighborhood. It's the only park I know of that buzzes with the sounds of a rainforest. I sat on the grass under my favourite tree that overlooks an uneven field. The longer I sat, the more I noticed that the grass around me and stretching out to the field was all moving. Ants, bugs, moths, spiders... So full of life! Some communities we don't even see that are just as hectic as our own. It was a humbling moment... A strange, nosey four-limbed giant pretending to be invisible amongst their business.

Everyday errands continue to unfold beyond our cubicles, cars, houses, and our very own eye level... Isn't that exciting?
