time & tide

they are putting up the christmas decorations over Orchard Rd once again;
has it been one year already?
it has, and what memories to remember it by ....

below is an entry from marcella,
a heartful one that feels so close to home:

" Today I woke up with overwhelming fear.
The nearing of premenstrual period can only be blamed for the intensity of fear but not for the fear being there.
Waking up from a dream which seemed to be a possible premonition of what may be, is only the trigger for the fear but not for the fear being there.
The sense of uneasiness, the sense of insecurity, the sense of possible loss and the sense of not knowing is the cause for fear, or is the result of fear?
Can it all be summed up as the fear of change? Can fearing too much of change lead to change (you know what I mean?) ?
I guess only time will tell.

In a few minutes, the fear will subside yet again...but hope will always be present."
