Tama nga talaga si Joni Mitchell, kung kailan wala na o pawala na saka mo lang mapapansin ang naroroon at meron.

Ilang beses na tayong nagpaalam ngunit kahit ilang beses pa hindi tayo masanay-sanay.

Sa mga pinagpaalaman o tinalikuran, iniisip natin na iyun na iyon at wala na tayong kinalaman pa sa kanila. Ngunit kumakapit sila sa atin. Dala-dala natin lagi-lagi. Malay man tayo o hindi.

"They had been raised as Baptists, Methodists, Congregationalists, Presbyterians, United Brethren, whatever. They had been led through the church door and prodded toward religion, but it had never come alive for them. Sundays made their skulls feel like dried-out husks. So they slowly walked away from the chuch and silently, without so much as a growl of rebellion, congratulated themselves on their independence of mind and headed into another way of life. Only decades later, in most cases, would they discover how, absentmindedly, inexplicably, they had brought the old ways along for the journey nonetheless. It was as if...through some extraordinary mistake...they had been sewn into linings of their coats!"

            - Tom Wolfe, Two Young Men Who Went West


Tumatalun-talon na ako rito. Habulin niyo na lang. Napapagod na akong maghintay.
