BREEZE

Someday I would like to be a breeze. Just the name itself sounds so cool. No emotions, no problems, no worries, no pain, just BREEZE.

Today I feel like flying to the sky, with a “snap” I will carry myself up with a leap.

Tomorrow I feel like going down under, with a “plunge” I will dive low with a dip.

Maybe I can dash through the fence. Maybe I will squeeze through the whole in the rock. Maybe I would wet myself in the middle of a storm. Maybe I can sail through the heat in the desert. No matter what I go through, I know I am always cool like a breeze.

I can kiss those I love on their heads. I can smack those I dislike on their cheeks. I can embrace their faces to freshen them up. I can flip through their hair to mess them up.

I could die down anytime, I could re-appear with a slight blow. I know I am full of freedom. I am always filled with great delight.

Somehow everybody loves breeze. You can be the fiercest person on earth. You can have the coldest look. You can be the most unfriendly. Maybe you are the most snobbish of all. However I know I could always bring out a smile in that pretentious shell.

Breeze oh breeze, how I adore you. If life is like a breeze, then wouldn’t it be a great joy…

HELPLESS

Sometimes we would find something in life vanishing despite how careful we are.

A lot of things happened around us as lessons for us to learn, but we simply miss them.

Everyday there are people who have kidney failures despite how healthy they are.

Everyday lives are lost despite how careful they are.

Everyday accidents happen no matter how much safety precautions we take.

Everyday wallets are lost despite how secure we are.

Everyday people fell in love regardless how they avoid.

Everyday people divorcé despite how much counseling they went through.

It does not matter if you are very spiritual or gifted, or whether you are a great prophet, when the crisis decides to strike you, you could not prevent it.

For Jon, he just lost his sentimental Braun Buffel wallet. Along with it are cash ($250), NRIC, Driving License, Ezlink Card, Whizzcar member card, Office Access card, Name Cards, POSB Debit Master Card, UOB ATM Card, Hope Church member card & some receipts for claims.

Though all the above can be replaced some how, but the most painful ordeal is the process of replacing them. More money would be spent. More time would be lost. Sentiments would diminish too. What a way to end the old and start anew.

Some how only God knows why some things happen. Some things have to go and be forgotten. Some things have to change. Some things have to evolve. Some things we have to throw. Some things we have to plan ahead. And some things have to be freshened up.

Henceforth we just have to admit that sometimes we can be very helpless in life. So why take life so seriously? Why so bothered about what is fair and what is not? Why so calculative about things in life? Why control your life so much that you can’t breathe?

Take a step back and look at life. Give yourself a break.
