"All but Death, can be Adjusted— Dynasties repaired— Systems—settled in their Sockets— Citadels—dissolved—

Wastes of Lives—resown with Colors By Succeeding Springs— Death—unto itself—Exception— Is exempt from Change— "

• Emily Dickinson

it's one thing to hear of pple your age getting married.. it's another to have one of your friends, someone you actually know, getting married..

mixed in with all the joy, celebration and congratulations, are other ambivalent feelings.. i'm disturbed, unsettled, nostalgic, mellow and sad..

suddenly, i realise home for her will become sydney. suddenly, i realised people are getting on with their lives. suddenly, i'm thinking of jc life and missing it terribly. suddenly, i regret not having kept up with her.. i wish we had kept more in contact.. suddenly, i will have someone to visit when i travel australia..

.. i'm just a little upset..

• James Baldwin

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive.

And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

-- Harold Whitman
