on another note, Tim you're email isnt working. my reply keeps coming back to me. coffee sounds great. Let's hope you read this before you arrive.
it never ceases to amaze me how easy it is for people to give up. give up on others, give up on themselves, give up on their education, give up on life. give up, give up, give up.
but give up to whom? to give up is another way of saying to surrender. you surrender your life, yourself. you surrender your opportunities. you surrender these things to someone else. surrender them to the universe. surrendering these opportunities to someone else who is willing and able to utilise them. surrendering yourself to fate. and yet, for many...fate is the perfect excuse for many of the shortcomings they possess. the perfect excuse for the things that don't go right in their lives. yes, fate is the opt-out clause in the contract of life.
and while, personally, i do adopt a somewhat fatalistic attitude to life, i also still hold onto the firm belief that we can accomplish whatever we want if we put our minds to it. faith is just as strong as fate, and sometimes, its even more powerful. faith in yourself, in your abilities, in others, in love, in life. faith in fate even.
and yet, sometimes, even faith eludes me. its not a nice feeling when you feel there is no hope. when you fail to see what surrounds you. for a moment, your eyes cannot see, your heart cannot love. for a moment, you are as good as dead. for a moment, your hope is gone. and it is only when you resurface; when you reawaken; when your eyes can see and your ears can hear and your heart can feel; when you once again can sense your heart beating out the rhythm of your life; only then do you realise that, to live without hope is not to live, but only to exist. and yet for some, existence is life.
yes, maybe for some. but not for me.

hey zena!
hows it going?? meant to stay in touch but lost your contact.. yet (and i say it very thankfully) through hi5 i managed to get on your blog, and i have to say Mashallah.. some of the things you talk about, i can imagine people thinking about them, frequently asking all the same questions but too scared to answer them themselves..giving others a chance to relate to and see their thoughts and their feelings in words they can understand and be moved by.
i loved it, really did... keep it up!! ur amazing
might keep on dropin by..maybe even leave a comment every now and then :)
hope to c ya soon....
Quite the insightful person. Your entries resonate well in my hollow chambers and seem to blow the seals off my pseudoseclusion. I admire your chioce of simple words, intentional or not. I can not stand preachers who defy their purpose by utilizing terms that only a select elite would comprehend.
I have finally found a use for that ever-empty homepage address. Keep me posted.
sparkileptic... flattered that you would think my blog good enough to put as your homepage; should i be concerned that you described me as a preacher? ;) glad my posts don't come across as pretentious, although its not intentionally so. would love to hear more of your comments!
now, this whole business of you being able to decipher a person through their dance...thats interesting
