Eclipse

Today, i learnt plenty of things. It's one of those days whereby you are so occupied the day becomes a mini roller-coaster ride, not in a bad way.

I started my day off super early. Took my shower, said my prayer on the balcony to the sun rising and went back to sleep til 11am. I had brunch with Julius, Jennifer and Vanessa. Then i went off to Midvalley to meet up with Reening.

And i have to say that taking the KTM is one of utmost dreaded effort. Watching how sardines of human bodies collided with one another (and being collided against, myself) i wondered how people could be so cold towards one another. We're all so tight and close, yet we're oblivious of the existence of anyone else around. All we're focused on is ourselves, our destination. Me me me. The realisation kinda bummed me out.

But as usual, i felt the hassle was worth it. I bought the entire The Lord of the Rings books collection for a good deal at the MPH carnival and above all, at the end of the day, i am reaffirmed of all the good things a friendship holds to be true. It's always good to be reminded that two friends can remember each other despite time and space, can always cherish a good friendship, count on each other and treat the friendship with mutual, pure respect. To be reminded that the company of a friend is better than many other worldly things. "For you, a hundred times over."

I then had dinner with Andrew, Aaron and Julius. Followed by supper, joined by others. So, we were talking about how CSS would journey on from here. Honestly, i have no idea. Neither am i very worried about it. I was however, very touched when our conversation could centre on the matters of our faith and of our relationship with God. Such subtle and gentle reminders from the Almighty Father that good fruits will be borne in His own time and naught of the imagined toils will ever be in vain. I was even more overwhelmed to hear Andrew speak to Aaron about how in the end, serving in CSS is ultimately 'working for God' and that what we imagine, hope and think would be might in the end, not be. It reminds me of our own helplessness, frailty and above all, our need of Someone greater than ourselves.

There was supposed to be an eclipse tonight. I missed most of it. But this is our eclipse. Once every now and then, it would be pitch dark across our horizons..but we continue on in faith, knowing that the dark would pass, the moonbeam will continue to smile upon us and a new dawn would break.
