Where Have All The Flowers Gone?







The title of this post takes its cue from the well-known Bob Dylan song, a song which I remember singing as a hymn in church as a kid. Well, using it to described my perception of the passage of time i.e the passing of day to day.
It does feel as though time is speeding up..that the days are shorter. Darn...its going to be May in a couple of days. Where did time go? Or is this how 'time' feels like when one gradually gets older. I suppose its comes with age...like the grains of sand in an hour glass...it seems to trickle at the beginning and speeds up just just before the last grain of sands empties the top half of the hour glass. I guess...its the fear of mortality combined with the fact of aging as the plausible answer for the perception of time speeding up as one gets older. Its like seeing time slipping by. Sigh.
Well, I have been keeping a closer eye on the recent global happenings, both on natural occurrences and on geo-political developments. Besides the frequent earthquakes around the world (Taiwan and Indonesia on Monday), the recent volcano eruption in Iceland is something worth keeping tabs on. That goes for the building tension between North and South Korea (following the sinking of a South Korean navy vessel) and tension in the Middle East. (Israel/Iran with regard to the latter's nuclear program). Very interesting times ahead.
At least I did managed to get some satisfactory shots with my trusted G9 recently. I thank God for the life He has given me and pray that He will keep my family and me safe.

To None I Wish Ill But To All I Wish Peace and Love.
