PASSAGES: Predictable Crises of Adult Life by Gail Sheehy
In here she tried to make a generalization of the apparent changes in human life. Sounds interesting... *flipping pages* ... Pulling up roots.. yep, I understand... that was me breaking free... Trying Twenties (still there)... Catch-30... and the list goes on.
Change. Metamorphosis. Evolution. (Reincarnation?)
It happens everyday, it's actually happening now. Me.. doing Blog. Blog eh? Like papers and pens is not enough nowadays.. now we have blog. With all the privacy clauses in contracts and how paranoid we've become.. yet I am here, trying out my first post, letting everyone into my private space... *well, not the whole of it but glimpses*
2005. Year of the Rooster. What was it they predicted for this year? I don't remember. But I know that it's looking good for me. I feel like a caterpillar, coming out of her cocoon ready to become a beautiful butterfly.
Butterfly
Mariah Carey
When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
Its easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imagined I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open up my hands
And watch you rise
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
I have learned that beauty
Has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled
Or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage
To be all that I can
And I truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me when you're
Ready to land
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
I can't pretend these tears
Aren't over flowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from
Almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye
For you'll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
Fly... to the sun If you should return to me
I will know you're mine
We truly were meant to be
Spread your wings and fly
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
*flutters around* Ah... the world is such a wonderful place.
Take the time to smell the roses...
happy blogging and eavesdropping!
