A day of bright clarity
Unconsciously, i was feeling a little blue since i missed out on the day again, though it's better late than never, i guess. A little time to think for one's self, to reflect on what one has done over the years, to collect one's thoughts and plans on what to do for the future. The cemetery can really make you sit and work out the pieces.
No, it's not just a fascination for the macabre. i just didn't have the chance to visit my grandmother's grave for the Qing Ming festival last week. Taking a little time before work, i lit up a few joss incense sticks, kowtowed to my dead ancestors, and took the opportunity to get my thoughts back in order. Times like this make me realise how much i miss my family and those who are gone. At the same time, it makes me consider all of the good shit that surrounds me everyday: a home, a family, a meal or two, a libation or three, friends everywhere i go, this very earth and the ongoing geological processes that have continued to shape it for billions of years.
To you, you're all my family. i wouldn't want to trade it for anything.
