Musings…

It’s a chilly, damp morning here at my pad. The sun hasn’t risen yet and there are tiny droplets of rain hitting on my window pane. It’s been a wet, wet night. The rippling sound of rainwater running in the drain downstairs is slightly hypnotic and soothing, as I sit here contemplating on a plot for a new novel. Hmmhh, nothing much to say for today except that life is indeed like a chameleon. It changes colors when prompted by life’s circumstances. And it can happen with just a flip of the coin – a probability game it is. Guess there’s always two sides to everything…goodness and bad, strength and weakness, happiness and sadness, darkness and light, truth and lies…the list goes on. Though, suffice to say, we should have the willpower to mould our own destiny and turn grays into exuberant colors once again, if need it be. I’d want to be a chameleon, too, in terms of that. Guess that’s life.

            I received a surprise letter in my mail box from an old friend last night, and thought I’d share since I found it meaningful enough to move me to tears. It goes like this:

            Remember me when I’m gone away

            Gone far away into the silent land

            When you can no more hold me by the hand

            Remember me when no more day by day

            You tell me of the future that you’d planned

            Only remember me, you understand

            It will be late to counsel then or pray

            Yet if you should forget me for a while

            And afterwards remember, don’t grieve

            For if the darkness and corruption leaves

            A vestige of the thoughts I once had

            Better by far you should forget and smile

            Than that you should remember and be sad.
