Remembering The Tiger Of Jelutong
Karpal Singh, 74, passed away in an accident early this morning.
While most of us just talk he walked his talk. We will miss a
formidable force in our political opposition arena; the check
and balance for any healthy political system.
Rest in peace my fellow countryman, nobler than us..
Karpal said to Police who wanted him to leave a court by
a back door because there was a man threathening to harm
him.... “if I go through that back door now, I will go through
back doors all my life.”
What does it mean to be a true Malaysian in present times?
A Karpal Singh!

A prayer for peace and detached observing

A thought to ponder upon ....
The disappearance of flight MH370 is the fang baring of a now impotent "super power" unable to stop another ... over current political issues due
to its financial bankruptcy... to the changing of the
Guard, the baton changing hands ... except the old does not want to let
go ... of power, control, money, resources .... think Ukraine, Crimea, Russia, America ... and the powers that be standing behind the superpowers ... so bringing in forbidden covert technologies in a show of power ...flexing their secret weapons arm. By so doing revealing themselves enough to spill the beans ... as to who they essentially are .... something other than human.

A day in our lives ....
A little dialogue ....
It starts with A finding the electric kettle full of cold water ...
A needs to boil a little water to make a drink.
A looks for the Matriach, S, tells her the problemo....
S follows as A goes back to the kitchen and finds V,
the Patriach Supremo pottering amongst the pots.
V pipes in... "You want to boil some water?"
Sees S trotting along and says, "You had to bring heavy Management
in...(for this)?" as he proceeds to pour the water into flasks.
A gives a stiffled grunt, "haennkk..."
S laughs, "Yes that is apt terminology. You have to learn how to
handle little things. One day Heavy Management will no longer be
here; then you don't want to flounder..."
V butts in, "So when will you be retiring?"
S retorts, "I have already left! Now I am just ... sitting out?
counting time? what's the phrase? What do prisoners do..
to do with time?..."
A says, exasperated..."doing time..." Ammmaae...
S laughs out loud, "Yes I am doing time!" and thinks ..."Doing time in
purgatory!" Actually what S meant was ... "biding my time.... "

More thoughts on Loneliness and Aging
Plan your day - go about achieving what you have planned to achieve.
Exercise and care about my health.
Keep in touch with others. I am not too holy for mundane chats.
Contemplate on loneliness, aging and death. They are three merry chums.
Stay with the feelings that arise in total acceptance
Be kind to all that is not working for me in life
- it is after all just my blinkered view; not fading eyesight!
Learn to be content with what is.
With what I am.
Let go of silly notions of not having achieved or changed
Into an enlightened Being.
I AM ENLIGHTENED BEING JUST AS I AM.
Unmoving, the Self moves,
Moving, it remains ever still.
How is it known -
That which is beyond all joy and sorrow
And yet is embodied in both the joyful and the sorrowing
One who meditates on that Self
Which is formless in the midst of all forms,
Eternal in the midst of the momentary,
Which is everywhere at once ...
Such a one will know that Self
And finally cease grieving.
- The Katha Upanishad 2:21 and 22
Some thoughts on Aging and Loneliness
The wisest thing we can do as we age is to surrender our rigidities, grab onto the coat-tails of ever changing life and flow with it.
Stop and bask in love ... just bask in it.
Re-create yourself.
