...when thoughts go way up there

Sentimental Precipitation



It's a lazy rainy afternoon. I use to like rain, in fact I still do, but there's something about today's rain that's different. I don't know. It's weird.

Perhaps it's the fact that I can't afford to be lazy, as I have very important things to do (yes, even more important than being lazy). Or that I'm nowhere near where I want to be. Or that I hardly even know where it is I really want to be.

You all know how hard it is to be confused and helpless because of lack of information. We need certain knowledge to work with in order to arrive at well-informed decisions. That I have no problem with. It's very easy for me, as with most people I know, to use my mind to sort my way out of a mess. But sometimes, the situation calls for something more than that. I take back what I wrote a few emtries back -- sometimes you just can't afford to be rational.

I grapple with this problem the way I reflect on whether I would go to class or not on a non-exam day. On the one hand, the decision seems like a no-brainer -- of course I won't! On the other hand, I'm scared of the unforseen consequences.

I guess there are just things in life that we cannot be certain of. Spontaneity is one of the things that make life worthwhile.

But, as with cutting class, you don't have much choice but to trust in your instincts. Even if it has failed you many times in the past.

Peace.

PS.

Wherever you are.. Whoever you are.. I want to be there. With you. Enjoying the rain.

Sleep well everyone.
