I bask in the memory of those orange afternoons when the tires run smoothly on a sun-kissed asphalt. My heart just stared blankly at everything, unabashed, silent and roaring.
- Kimmy Bureros, 1996

If we try

            For years and years people keep searching and researching for the one thing which makes this life complete. And I guess, in it's most honest sense, the truth is a little more terrifying than the the mass abduction of women in Darfur; a little more painful than the 130,000 people who die from cancer every year (65,000 of whom are aged under 75); a little more satirical than the comedic scene the Philippine government provides; a little more historically golden than the Ming Dynasty of China; a little more intellectually stupefying than Einstein's theory of relativity; a little more real than Jesus Christ's death on the cross; and even a little more superficial than Paris Hilton.

            There's a little bit more to it than what it gives and shows us. And we can't see that. We can't find that. Why? Because the only thing we get out of life is experience - life itself. The truth behind it will never be complete as it truly is. Or at least, not in our eyes. 

            Perhaps God designed us not to be superhumans because by then life wouldn't be as terrifying, as painful, as comedic, as golden, as intellectual, as superficial and as real as it is in our eyes. This twist of uncertainty and mystery to life is what makes it interesting. And to us, or at least to me, it's what makes life, life

            I don't know what's my reason for blab today. After listening to KT Tunstall's Tracks in July album, I sort of fell in love with her song Fall. It made me think of some things. Here. It might make you think, too.

Fall - KT Tunstall

 

           She sings, "If we try."

           So what if life has its missing pieces? So what if we can never fill in the mysteries and uncertainties in it?

           Perhaps, if we try, the truth we see may just be enough for us.
