Two Weeks In Memory....

Time waits no one
Two weeks have passed
Without us realising
We are still struggling emotionally
Missing every moment that we have had with her

Today standing by her portrait
Her loving face
Her gentle smile
Her twinkling eyes
Seem to say that all is well

She now lives in our hearts
The core of our life essence
Her words, actions and all of her beautiful legacy
Shadowing us in every breathe we take
And guiding us in every step we make

Nothing's changed
We kiss her
We talk to her
We listen to her
We feel her

This moment...every other moments...
We continue to love her...
We continue to remember her..
We continue to cherish her..
In our hearts...

MUMMY

Mummy dearest has passed on at 10.10am on 13 May 2009 (Lunar Year of Ox, 四月十九日）

The pain doesn't seem to end.
The longing doesn't seem to end.
The flashback doesn't seem to end.
The tears doesn't seem to end.

The appreciative joy seems to go on.
The gratitude seems to go on.
The love seems to go on.
The learning seems to go on.

And life seems to go on.

What is important.
This very moment?

Carry on.
Move on.
Step by Step.
Contemplating.
Wisely.
Diligently.
Rightfully.
Compassionately.
Mindfully.

One day.
We will meet.
Again.
Again.
And Again.
Till we achieve the Ultimate.
Together.
The Nibbana.

Tomorrow..Or The Next Life..Which One Comes First?

DBS's CEO Richard Stanley passed away peacefully yesterday. This news came almost immediately after I shared a conversation with WY about Richard's latest news on his critical condition. I was hoping that he would come out of the woods soon but the news of his passing dashed the hope of his recovery.

I do not know him at a level beyond his name in the papers and one who helms the entity with a personable leadership style. But somehow I was saddened by a premature death of one so young and promising.

WY shared Dalai Lama's quote with me.. and I thought.. Perhaps "The next moment..Or the next life..Which one comes first??" is more apt to describe how I view the whole incident and life in general.

Then WY shared about an article from Ajahn Bhramn's book on "sudden death".. Ah... How aptly the analogy is. Death, as much as life in itself, is just a natural process affecting everyone and anyone, regardless of age, gender, race and all at any point in time... No one is to be blamed, nothing is to be questioned, especially if the death is on the young and green..

May he be blessed by the Triple Gem and reach the next realm to further his WAY of CULTIVATION.

For people like us..Each moment is precious. Follow one's heart and Path. Be mindful. Realise the TRUTH.

Just Thoughts

2008 has gone by. 2009 is already into its 4th day. And I am still clueless when people ask me about resolutions and wishes.

I stopped making resolutions since aeons ago. I don't keep up to delivering them anyways.

Last night, I was pensive..nothing in particular yet about things and people that matter.

This morning, I read Shin's Cancer Blog and as before, she continues to give me positive strength to re-look at things, happenings and people.

Now, this moment, I am calm, conscious and thankful...
