Thought Overflow

Dad arrived in town last Friday morning. He brought with him wonderfully grey rain clouds, lower temperatures, and joy in a month that’s as close to summer as your eyes are to each other.

I didn’t go to college today to prepare for a lab exam tomorrow as well as a small presentation I have to give in class on Friday, but I’ve spent the last hour or so immersed in music, lost in the worlds of the articles in Readers’ Digest (Oct ’07). There’s been a light, cool breeze blowing in, and the light was just perfect up till a few minutes back. For a few minutes, there was nothing wrong with the world. In fact, there was no world. There was just me, my music and my words, left to ourselves… no college, no lab exam, no presentation, no responsibilities of any kind…

Sometimes… you’re just happy to be alive.

PS: Happy Birthday, dad.
