A Birthday Wish for a chenta hati
SMS at 10.20am, 10th June, 2008.
Abby: You're Old!
Fozz: Old n haggard.. Same age as u.. Humph. Oh, tq 4 reminding me im old btw. Ill take dat as a bday wish. Unique one. Tq :d
I didn't intend to be similar as everyone else wishing the best of health bla bla bla so I pulled out a short simple one for one of THE most sarcastic human being I love so much.
Unique. Of course.
Not as unique as the person though. No, I'm not talking about me.
There are times when I needed faith and trust. Told a person once, Faith is something we own, Trust is something we give. Both are ours and no one can take that away from us. Fozz is one of those people I have faith in and one of the people I trust most. I have faith that whatever she does in life, it'll turn out good. And I trust her judgment and will support it endlessly, always and forever.
It have been 4 years, I think I've celebrated 3 of your birthdays (not really celebrate la, maybe just wish birthday).
Yesterday I finished reading The Time Traveler's Wife and to my surprise, an excerpt from my favourite Rilke poem was part of the ending for the book. The timing couldn't be better.
Faith is something we own. Trust is something we give.
For the person I always have FAITH in and the person I TRUST the most.
Going Blind by Rainer Maria Rilke
She sat just like the others at the table.
But on second glance, she seemed to hold her cup
a little differently as she picked it up.
She smiled once. It was almost painful.
And when they finished and it was time to stand
and slowly, as chance selected them, they left
and moved through many rooms (they talked and laughed),
I saw her. She was moving far behind
the others, absorbed, like someone who will soon
have to sing before a large assembly;
upon her eyes, which were radiant with joy,
light played as on the surface of a pool.
She followed slowly, taking a long time,
as though there were some obstacle in the way;
and yet: as though, once it was overcome,
she would be beyond all walking, and would fly.
Happy Birthday Fozzy. You know I love you. :-)
