Wisdom

Yesterday was the National Day... one day holiday. But not the go-out-and-stroll day nor laundry day. I planned to finish the book I am reading (will post a review in a few days).

Excerpt:

Seasons had come and gone... But Mariam had hardly cared. She had passed these years in a distant corner of her mind. A dry, barren field, out beyond wish and lament, beyond dream and disillusionment. There the future did not matter. And the past held only this wisdom: that love was a damaging mistake and its accomplice, hope, a treacherous illusion.

How can life be so alienated that these two things, love and hope, becomes a mistake and an illusion?

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. Splendid indeed!

One fantastic artist.

One great song.

A rare version.
