:: Bus Stop Buddy ::



 A solemn prayer for the bus stop buddy. 

"The buses, they pass by me day by day,
doing their usual pick-ups...
till one day their service discontinues..."

25 December 2009
- 830pm European Time, 330am Singapore Time,
written on the flight back to Singapore from Amsterdam -

The fantastic Europe trip is drawing to a close,
and we will soon revert back to the busy schedules of our lives.
Work, and the daily necessities of life will consume us,
and perhaps we will become too entangled
with confronting the daily issues,
that we may never recall this moment again. 

Hence this hurried scribblings at the back of this special Christmas SQ menu.
I will not know if we will travel together again to Europe,
or to anywhere else.
But what is really important is to know,
at this present moment, 334am,
that we will always be journeying together;
Europe, Singapore or anywhere else. 

And I hope for awareness - for it is with awareness -
the awareness that we are both happy, together -
that we can live this very moment to its fullest,
now and thereafter.
