Musicophilia

I've been stuck on this book for some time. Could never seem to find the time to read it. The subject matter is pretty interesting. I love the story at the opening of the book. A surgeon with no musical training could miraculously start playing the piano and composing pieces after being struck by lightning. This reminds me a little of Phenomenon when John Travolta's character was also struck by a lightning/ UFO and became highly intelligent + possessing magnetic powers. Just love stories like that...

These are the things

These are the things
I remember of you.
These are the things
That I have lost.
These are the things
That I can find
Only when I dream.

Dreams

I've forgotten to dream
Dreams that once belonged to me
Are mine no more.
Dreams abandoned
Forsaken.
Dreams, what are they made of?
Fragmented pieces
Of love
Life
Death.
I sought its sweetness in the dark
But tasted only bitterness.
Dreams
Lost
Broken.
I've forgotten how to dream.

Desolation

Desolation
On a no man isle
The shore at the other end
Is too far out.
I watch you from across the sea
Fading into the darkness
The stars against the darkest night
Of nights
Shine no light on you and I.

Plans

For the past few days, I've been having this strange sense of weariness of the soul. Not exactly sure how to describe it... But it's like a sudden loss of interest in most things, especially of the material sort. Feeling a little lost not exactly sure where I'm heading and what is it that I really want to do. However, just an hour ago, this thought came to me. Give back.
Giving back not just to society but family, friends, the people around me.
Some concrete plan is to volunteer at Sunday school, mission trip in June, family trip in February and I guess build better relationships not just with people I'm already close with but rather those whom I've not had good rships with.
And then I'll see where all these lead me to....

On a side note, have been looping not dark yet for more than 10 times today! ! Such a melancholic number... Makes me wanna cry sometimes....

Decisions

How does one make decisions for one's life?
And decide which direction one should head?
How does one decide which areas of his/ her life to change, when one gets contented and comfortable?
Does one make a small change in one's life and see where it all leads?
Or should one have a great big plan
Of how one's life should pan out?
Ah, decisions decisions.
I need a life overhaul.
Where to start?
How to think?
What to think?

Nothing makes sense
