hot humid weekend, have done quite abit. caught up with old friends. had a good laugh at our battle stories. plans for holidays. just cant wait.
my life is full of ' should i's and 'just cant wait's. promises and anticipations. but i always tell myself it's okay to dream and hope for something. there must always something to look forward to, if not things will just fall to be mindless drudgery.
one of my activities was rummaging around and found one photo from the earlier days. actually i am unhappy with myself here, coz there were a few other photos which i love more dearly. and i think better taken, but simply cant place them.
this one was taken about five years ago, when i was at my neurotic best. yes, in uni.
of all the anticipations and 'just cant wait' s. i have been telling him and wanting to hear from him....
and i found this and somehow i like it. with or without you. on marriage, the prophet. by kahlil gibran
"You were born together,
and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together
when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together
even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another,
but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea
between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup
but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread
but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress
grow not in each other's shadow."
