mister mystery

it's nice to have a little mystery every now and then

though the truth is
there's always a little mystery every now and then


i needed this break.
more than i needed my routine of eating pusu or mongo bread every time i am here in cebu
or my sorry-me-if-i-lose-it-again mobile phone
or my figuring out of what to do next.

I don’t know what’s gonna happen
That’s alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery
-Just for Today, India Arie

"embracing the mystery," damn.
sounds a lot easier than it really is.

and though being with family
with someone special
with your good old high school friends
or even with the dead

really really helps
there is still a little something about that little mystery
that makes you want to know for certain
whether you really do want to embrace it.

knowing for certain?
we know we never will.
and so we embrace
and we stick our noses up and pray
and we eat as much as we can
and we suspend judgment

and we hug and kiss like there's no tomorrow.

lisnin to The String Quartet
sortof readin Mitch Albom's For One More Day, best of the three
feelin kinda awwwww-ful. which is a very good feeling.

Just for today
I will not worry what tomorrow will bring, no
I’m gonna try something new and walk through this day
Like I’ve got nothing to prove,
Although I have the best intentions
I can't predict anyones reactions
So I’ll just do my best
I'll put one foot in front of the other
Keep on moving forward
And let God do the rest
-India Arie
