In the quiet post-rain morning, the lyrics suddenly popped up in my mind. Took me quite a while to remember what song it is...aha...got it...a beautiful song. One that soothes the heart, perfect for unwinding...
The world still mourns him. Different people mourn differently. Some dance in celebration of his life, some openly cry, and yet some remember all his beautiful attributes.
I can't say I have a strong feeling for that kind of mourning. I've never really been his big fan anyway. True I admire his music. Like many, I recognize a great talent. He is one indeed. The likes of Elvis perhaps. One of a kind. Perhaps in his own ways he touched people's life. I salute him for that.
I guess I owe him thanks for his music, esp the 80s music that my generation and I listened to when we grew up. MJ I may not have a strong feeling for you, but like many I hope you rest in peace.
Amidst news coverage of Michael Jackson's life on TV, sadness creeps in my heart. How true it is that death is a celebration of one's life. It is more so when one was a celebrity. Suddenly all their wonders are highlighted, when it was all their faults that were talked about when they lived.
Maybe it's not so bad when one is not a celebrity. Their wonders always outweigh their faults. At least that's how I remember my grandfather, always the great person he had been. Coincidently he passed away today three years ago. There's no more pain in my heart now. I prefer to think that he is resting in peace somewhere unreachable, where none can harm him anymore. I do miss him sometimes but I've accepted that he had to go because his time was up. No one lives forever, but it's how we live our life that counts...
As for MJ, this simple 'Ben' to me is one of his best:
Got so bored of walking and jogging. Thought I'd do a different kind of exercise today. A visit to youtube gave me fantastic ideas of doing a simple but fun exrecise: dancing. Here are some of the music I found really enjoyable. They are a random mix of music I once loved to sway to:
A believer of 'life is a school', and aims to live life to the fullest. Embracing love with all its uncertainties. Appreciating all things beautiful...
