Waiting for someone to show me the way...

Today is July 4th 2008. Half the year gone, almost a decade into the new millenium..! Where have the last 8 odd years gone ? Wasn't yesterday,that there was a huge global excitement and celebrations to bring in the year 2000, and the millenium. Also mixed with it, wasn't there the fear of the mythical digital catastrophy of Y2K..? Seems like yesterday...but no catastrophy, no digital breakdown. Yet..!

More importantly, how did the 2008 escape us? With half of it gone.? What has happened to those promised plans and resolutions for the 2008 ? Did it slip away, like the night in midst of a deep slumber ?

Someone rightly said "Time is a sand, slipping away from your fingers".

But the best tribute to Time is by Pink Floyd. The poignant words reproduced here...

"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say"

Here's to all of us to get up, dust the sands from the seat of our pants, and run, run...before the time runs out..!!
