Time is wasting, 

call it resting.

Time is used,

blogs perused.

Let time run its course.

Gently steer the oars.

Need I choose some course of action

Need not I run out of options

There it went my time

In exchange for words that rhyme.

My Camera

 This photo was taken while waiting for our dinner at Kentucky Fried Chicken one Sunday.
That's a tree, a pedestrian lane, McDonald's, motorcycles and cars outside the window
and the lights and people inside the fast food.   Not a good shot for Weekend reflections
but a good one for memory's sake.

 Those are my glasses on the table.  It is not quite helpful in telling me if I have taken a nice reflection shot for an internet meme, nor is  my camera's 1"x1" screen.  A very old model indeed with a loosened shutter that needs fixing up.  Can't even part with it a day; how much more for the two weeks to send it away for repair.
I have yet to find out if it is the camera I am attached to or the moments that I want to capture and hold on to.

Moments like these,
Father and son talking,

being inside an almost empty movie theater,
and more that I can capture
to feed this blog of mine.

A Journey

I was not born here so I cannot call this place my homeland. 
This is the place where God, in his loving grace led me to choose.
This is the place that embraced me as a lone traveler
     in search for life's meaning.
The place where He proved Himself true to His promises
The place He took me on a journey of the mind and spirit
while I physically put down roots twenty two years ago.

This shall be a work in progress as I gather the pieces together.
I have lived close to this place,

A crowded and noisy night market.
This brings back the memory of a time when I have to put myself to sleep each night
 listening to a recorded phone message of His verse, read in a language I do not yet fully grasp
just to hear a voice directly spoken to me.
