new years day

its 2008 and life is passing by so fast, there is little time for a pause. When did I last feel and sense time. In southern srilanka, a remote place, away from tourists. This remoteness bearing the solitude that only time brings. Such peace of mind to feel my good friend time, while the river flows whispering into the ocean.

Bird song fills the air and here in the density of song a peafowls spiritual lament is heard. Wind instrument on the mainland whistles forth a gentle echoe and here on the banks of the river, a masculine surge of energetic buddhist chanting. What sheer and spiritual music washing over me and bathing me with time.

Outside its dark, except for the fireflys that dart in and out and the occasional bat illuminated by slithers of moonlight.
With these thoughts in mind, I shall close my eyes and drift away into darkness where there are no shadows and no lights. Deep deep into the black I will sleep.
