THE CALL TO A HIGHER CALLING
Once again, another day just passed by.
Time really flies when you are really busy.
Trainings, trainings and more trainings.
Damn. This is so gd. I just signed up for the national squad.
I'm really hoping that with current training programme i set for myself,
is sufficient enough for me to qualify.
Well the trial aint that easy. But i still gotta do my best.
It aint impossible. I've seen my juniors there.
And i don't see why i couldn't be part of it.
So wish me luck people.
And too my friends. Sorry i can't meet up that often nowadays.
Not that i don't want too. It's either i'm busy, or just too tired.
I hope you guys do understand. =))
Don't worry you're not forgotten peeps.
When i really have the time we'll catch up yeah?
Promise. =D So till then peeps.

Envision
Listen to the exhortation of the dawn!
Look to this day.
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and realities of your existence.
The bliss of growth, the glory of action,
The splendor of beauty;
For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision;
But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well therefore to this day!
Such is the salutation of the dawn!
Till then. Azmi - Out!

When the phone rings...
Is it so small a thing
To have enjoy'd the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved, to have thought, to have done...
Till the ring ends...

Live is a quest and love a quarrel..
How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself?
If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox.
One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.
So till then.

If I had my life to live over, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time.
I'd relax; I'd limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip.
I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances.
I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers.
I would eat more ice cream and less beans.
I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones.
You see, I'm one of those people who lived sensibly and sanely hour after hour,
day after day. Oh, I had my moments, and if I had to do it over again,
I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else.
Just moments, one after the other, instead of living so many years ahead of each day.
I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a first aid kit, a bottle of water, a raincoat, and a book. If I had it to do over again, I would travel lighter than I have.
If I had my life to live over again, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dance; I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.

Three passions have governed my life:
1. The longings for love,.
2. The search for knowledge.
3. And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen.
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision.
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart.
Of children in famine, of victims tortured.
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.
Azmi - Out!
