A poor life this, if full of care


That's Teh Kechik next to a X'mas tree.

Spent a leisurely morning yesterday with Teh Kechik, a friend of over 20 years in the Mid valley Megamal. Except for the food outlets, there were hardly any shoppers. A reflection of the times or is it just because it was a Monday morning?

This leisurely morning reminds me of this poem I came across in my younger days:

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
...
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars like skies at night.
...
A poor life this if, full of care
We have no time to stand and stare.
