An old friend

Can you beat this, wisdom staring at you at 2 in the night, from the cartoon strip of a newspaper. Who else but the impeccable little lad from Calvin and Hobbes. Sigh.
A box of new crayons! Now they're all pointy and lined up in order, bright and perfect. Soon they'll be a bunch of ground-down, rounded, indistinguishable stumps, missing their wrappers and smudged with other colours. Sometimes life seems unbearably tragic.

There are moments in life which are blissful.....but they aren't just moments. Each moment of life is to be treasured....a moment there is happiness another holds you in pain.....But nothing can stop a purple breeze from flowing....Dont think of butchers coz they just hurt all the more....

I love Calvin and Hobbes.

"Sometimes life seems unbearably tragic."

This reminds me that the creative process is not always perfect.
