Desiderata.English columns here were featured for one year or so EVERY SUNDAY before I diverged from well trod paths into more mundane socio-political adventures. The former is often reflective and soul lifting; the latter, as with most politicians-infested wanderngs, corrupting and crass. Witness the death of a young 30-year-old political aide to a DAP politician while taken in for questioning by the authorities -- all within 24 hours. And he was due to get married to a two-month-pregnant sweetheart. A world crashing around a family, and all we hear from the said authorities is rhetorics, like an idiot mouthing:
"Teoh Beng Hock
is worth more
to us alive than
dead: MACC"
from the frontpage of New Sunday Times, July 19, 2009.
So I would want to advise my esteemed readers to take time off for some mind-lifting, even bending, at least soul-searching, writing this blessed Sunday, during which Desi's completed reading about half of 158 short stories (less than 250 words) at clarityofnight.blogspot.com.
I won't elaborate but urge you at least read the creatives from the experts -- joint judges Jason Evans and Jaye Wells -- who are also busy right right judging the 158 takes based on a photograph guided by "Truth in Wine" tag.
Happy reading, as I re-join the interactive cyberhome based in the United States but welcomes all residents from throught this Mother GOoD Earth. ~~ Desi
