there's another handful where that came from
What's with the blaming?
Yes, what's with that. You can ask that question over and again and the very best that could possibly happen is that the question will bounce off the walls around you. At the end of the bouncing spree, you'll see it parked right in your face in the very same way it left you.
Its difficult but I'll let it fall on these shoulders. All is well now that it's gone down that way. So why this gnawing feeling? What's with the smudged cheeks and rough wiping away? Why the difficulty in holding back that last wave? Very many questions that perhaps don't require an answer as urgently as the one posed at the beginning of this.
But nothing is nearly as bad as it is if you're able to find the hint of a silver lining. You see, once you've gotten hold of even a tiny peek at it, everything will look up =)
Like walking to nowhere in the hot sun because all you needed was to walk. And then find a destination with shady trees, a place to sit and the wind blowing just right.
And being blessed twice with fresh bird poop, thankfully not on the head.
Also to have just enough money to get an Apple pancake despite walking off without your wallet.
Then look at crazy smiley pictures that keep you smiling through redundant tasks.
But the grandest has got to be handing the cashier at a 7Eleven counter, first one hand of small change and then another and followed by another in exchange for a Classic Chocolate Cornetto and have him beam a thank you back at you. This brought me back to times in a blue pinafore and torn shoes panting at the Ice Cream Uncle at his motorbike outside the school gate. That was the moment of my day, nothing could possibly go wrong after ice cream, Priscilla Ahn and a drive.
Thank You for the strength. It was just enough =))
