catching up
other than the brief jubilation at making it past the halfway mark of the scholarship process, and relief at the P’s response to the news… life plods on somewhat wearily. despite a brief lull in the relentless flow of translation work, i still feel tired and out of sorts. i hate that constant sensation of not having done something, and of always having to catch up with something (other than sleep – that is a constant that i have accepted).
i don’t want to go through life like this and end up on my deathbed breathless and winded… and yet, time seems to zip by with unnecessary haste, and i do not even have time to summon my voice and call out to it. i want it to take a leisurely walk through my life, or for now, perhaps, even to come to a complete halt… but i echo the sentiments of millions before me. time is endless, but we see the end to our alloted time way too soon. there isn’t even time to mark time.
come back… come back… is this to be my refrain through life?
