Rubaiyyat

This is a rubayii that i once found, ages ago, written on the door of room 142, H10. It has always held special meaning to me, and i posted it to Minstrels:
Ah, Love! could thou and I with Fate conspire

Tipping points

This post is not exactly related to the book of the same phrase, but it touches the same idea – a tipping point, or in this case a turning point. Perhaps a lot of us would remember that one occasion, thought or idea which changed the course of your life. Had one not had that [...]

To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept the end
Of a love or a season?

Interestingness

This previous week was quite interesting I must say. To begin with I met an accident with my car when a driver pulling out from parallel park collided with my slow moving car. No major harm but just a lot of questioning by the insurance company and a waste of some 30 minutes of valuable [...]

Five Year Plan

So I did a road trip from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon and it was good fun. But with the tiny amount of time we spent at the Canyon, I say we didn’t do justice to it. The Canyon is a huge hole that runs 227 miles with depths of more than a mile; [...]
