  3. 2009.11.29 Only Half a Glass of Wine for Me

I can feel that some kinda positive energy is starting to bud.
How long have I waited for this.
Almost 1.5 years... Maybe 2 years?
I tried so hard for almost 2 years for this to happen: generating some positive energy from within.

But it's been difficult and it's been actually impossible by myself.
Despite of all the fear and unfamiliarity of human interactions, it had to be human interactions.
Interactions, not just my part but needed at least a counter part.
I tried so hard to generate on my own, and nobody acknowledged.
Nobody even knew that I was trying for it.
Nobody.
Not one soul on this earth knew it, even those ones I thought were the closest.

Oh well.
It's the past, and now is now, just as the future is another matter.
As I once said, life is full of separate dots forming a line. Each dot, denoting a temporal unit, is separate - not connected. (But taking a step back means you see a line... Of course, another step back would mean it will be just another dot.)

I hope this barely-budding positive energy would bloom well.
I need one.
Soon, my hellish schedule of work+exams would begin again, and I really could use some inner strength.
These days, I can feel myself being active and energized at things to do again.

Come to think of it, I tried to hold on to the dying roots of my latest positive energy wave... maybe too long.
When both my mind and body are finally tired to death after all the physical and mental troubles for last 2 years, this happens - when it's not expected at all.

How funny... So I live.

Just like the Kite Runner.
Nothing impressive here.
The Kite Runner was interesting because it was the first thing I read about Afghanistan, not because of the plot or characters.
Hosseini's books so far have very good beginnings, but pretty lame developments from there on.
Everything is so predictable and I knew how things would turn out chapters before.
But I tried to think and picture what's in Afghanistan again. Trying to think too much on this book was a mistake. I should have read it as an entertainment read - as if I were reading a fantasy novel.

But sometimes, it's not about the book. It also becomes a matter of how the book came by you.
No more unread among the books I got by January 2008.

A Thousand Splendid Suns: 3/5

For me, only half a glass of wine is enough.
Then I get all I want.

Half a glass of wine gives me a great sensation all over my taste buds (and my throat as I swallow);
it gives me a great scent all the way into the center of my brain.

Half a glass of wine is enough for me to spread warmth through every part of my body,
as if someone is embracing me.

Tonight, I drank a little more than half of a glass, maybe 3/4.
I can't finish my second half of a glass now.

I know I am not a drinker anymore.

So, next time, I will stick to half a glass of wine.
I just want to enjoy the intoxicating sensations on my taste buds and the scent of wine.
I just want to feel that somebody is embracing me - without numbing my senses.

Just 3/4 of a glass, I think I drank too much to do anything more.
I probably can't read anymore tonight.
I am just thinking again... about my dream, my place in the world and the Love.
