ART and QUOTE #8

" Life is a series of pulls back and forth.

You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else.

Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't.

You take certain things for granted,

even when you know you should never take anything for granted."

Morrie Schwartz

from Mitch Albom's Tuesdays with Morrie

LOVE YOU FOREVER

There's this book that I bought for my daughter - Love You Forever. It's a story of an evolving relationship between a mother and her son. I have read this book to her a couple of times but I made a tune out of these lines...

I love you forever
I like you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be.

My daughter loves music. She can carry a tune with ease. And she sings whenever she feels like it. And she learns easily. Last night, out of the blue, I just sang the first line...

I love you forever...

and my daughter took it from there.

I love you forever
I love you for always
As long as I'm living

and then came this kicker... My MAMA you'll be.

My heart swelled. I embraced her. I love her. I guess as a mother, I will always have sweet suprises. And I'll always be grateful for them.

Barack Obama

Today, the world witnessed how America voted for their first African-American President - Barack Obama. I liked the guy. I think he has the charisma to hold an audience and make them move towards his vision. It's very Kennedy-esque. If given the chance, I think I would also vote for him because I sense his sincerity. His track record showed how he wanted to make things better for the people around him.
