Turn.

Sometimes,
you just have to turn your back,
learn to loosen that clinched fist,
and move on.

To find out,
walking in a dress,
with crocodiles about your feet,
was not as bad as you thought it would be.

Teehee.
Say Whee!

Kids do this best,
adults tend to take things a wee bit too seriously.

The Hope of Loving.

I heard a fable once about the sun going on a journey
to find its source, and how the moon wept
without her lover’s
warm gaze.

We weep when light does not reach our hearts. We wither
like fields if someone close
does not rain their
kindness
upon
us.

What keeps us alive, what allows us to endure?

I think it is the hope of loving,
or being loved.

-Meister Eckhart

Poetry - Poet, try.

Poetry writing, poetry interpretation and poetry recital.

is so fun.

After class, this guy walks up.

:Can you teach me how to read poetry?

:Huh?

: Yes, I really like it but can never seem to understand when I read it...

:Umm,okay...uhhh I can help you in the best way I know... but I'm still learning.

: Okay! let's read this together! * points to the title of a poem - Will You Love Me When I'm Old?*

: ... ... ... ... Say, why don't we pick another poem instead?

Boats on the Rocks
Originally uploaded by irene gr

What beset me,
I don't know.
but there I crept up to the rocky,
unfriendly earth,
full of mirth.

So i thought..

Love loves to be told what it already knows.
Ever tasted that sweetness?

Back to the sea,
Ahooy there!
Alll Aboooaard?

Back to the place,
where this heart was created for.

Of Classes - Inside and Outside.

As I learn more about reading and writing, I found out I knew so little about it. As I learn about phonetics, something which is as foreign to me as the Elven Language; I found out that I have so much of misconstrued ideas about it, currently being smashed down by my very eccentric lecturers.

Every answer/opinion you give is happily challenged by them, leaving you lost for words...or some as I saw, start twirling their hair.

I like the fact that my uni is built on a very steep hill, slanted at 89 degrees..and they considerately put all the classes on the tip of the hill. And when its raining and you make your way up, you actually feel like you're stream-trotting against the flow, except that you're on slightly smoother rocks.

Had Volleyball and Badminton practice this week, oh the joy of playing sports and producing a gazillion water droplets which contributes to Body Odour!

But boy, do I miss the people back in MCKL. Some friends you only get once in a lifetime, and you know what? Just that once, is enough to last you all through. : )

First week into uni, I want to make the most out of everything that comes along.

You only have One life to get it right, don't let it slip.
