Road to Somewhere

Just around the corner lies the unknown.

It beckons, we pull back.

We are comfortable with the present, with the here and now.

We may be disgruntled, unhappy but we are comfortable enough not to wander into the unknown, the untested grounds.

Overly cautious, excessively fearful, we may never know the possibilities that lie beyond.

It's time to take that first step.

New Life

A friend just shared with me about her father's last hours in the hospice. It's always painful when we lose someone - whether we were given ample warning of the end or whether the end comes suddenly. At times like this, I am at a loss for words. But sometimes, words are not necessary or even enough.


There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven— a time to give birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2

Old Friend Revisited

It's always the same, we moved to a new circle of friends but in our minds and our hearts, the old friends continue to linger.

The lingering thought or feeling will remain until we either choose to reconnect with the old friends of our past or to forget forever.
