fragility It is really scary to once again contemplate the fact that people can leave you suddenly. They pass on beyond even if they looked okay the day before. They flung themselves off the building despite the fact that you guys were chatting happily just a few minutes ago. They got hit by a drunken driver just as you wave goodbye. Fragility. Just like an egg shell, life is smooth and flawless in its initial stages. But it is forever vulnerable to a squeeze or a smack. It cracks, shatters into pieces, reverting to dust. Swept away by the gentle breeze, returning to its beginning. Lousy description, you might say. Well, I just feel melancholy with regards to all the things i have experienced. Was looking through some blogs today and chanced upon this entry by many famous bloggers that this particular lady, Sondra of Idle Days, has just passed away due to a blood infection. Although i don't know her at all, something compelled me to go take a look at her blog and understand what kind of person she is. Her blog was pretty, with a picture of fallen leaves at the road side. Shows herself to be a prudent and nice person who loves all things in simplicity. Then i scrolled down to read some of her entries and that she was actually planning to migrate to England with her new found love. Fate tends to play wicked tricks on people huh? Here's my heartfelt condolescences to the family of Sondra and may she rest in peace. A poem surfaced in my mind, the poem by Robert Frost. NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. Not propogating the mentality of death and all things grey, here's a special note to all bloggers out there. Give your parents a well-deserved break and just always be filial and polite to them. Your parents gave you life and sustenance, so be grateful for that. Cherish all your friends and teachers and mentors for all the help and concern and warmth given along the way. Without them being around, you most probably couldnt have made through exams and the nit grits of life. Stay true and have a nice life. when the sun comes out, the stars will have to go away. |
