A children's poem recently introduced to me, which I think is quite a classic. One that makes one smile!

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound-note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are.'

Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl,
How charmingly sweet you sing.
O let us be married, too long have we tarried,
But what shall we do for a ring?'
They sailed away for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-tree grows,
And there in the wood a Piggy-wig stood,
With a ring in the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose!
With a ring in the end of his nose.

'Dear Pig, are you willing, to sell for one shilling
Your ring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will.'
So they took it away, and were married next day,
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon!
They danced by the light of the moon.

-- Edward Lear

I have been reading the book of Romans in between my revisions and, with the 365 message Joyce and I shared recently still fresh in my mind, came across this sentence which could very well hold the reason for living and appreciating life.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

-Apostle Paul


There will be no posts until at least the 5th of next month- that is when my holidays commence. The days are interesting, at best, and I have no complaints. I have many things in my head to write about so I assure you more will be put up during my holidays. Till then, enjoy October!

The struggle between what one is able to do and what one is called to do would at some point arrive at the juncture where one’s loyalties cannot be divided anymore, lest much is done but little is achieved. And one is made to choose and stand by his decision, regardless of which he feels he prefers to contribute in. Opportunity cost? Not if God leads us to lead. And where to!

Have been unable to write lengthy posts due to time-constraints. The days have been good, though. Hope everyone is well, and coping. All the best to those taking exams this season, and to those who are just starting to adjust to their new places! Good week
