i came home late tonight with so much to think about. i was planning to come home past midnight for me to have more time to think and walk. as i enter our living room, i saw my sister in front of the computer. i asked her:
"its already 11pm, don't you have any class tomorrow?"
"i do."
"then why are you still awake?"
she answered me back with a question.
"if you died, what do you wish to be written in your tombstone?"
i was perplexed. all my running thoughts came into a halt with the question. and i cannot give a straight answer back.
come to think of it. her question distracted me from thinking about burden thoughts and heavy feelings. though i cater ideas of death ONLY if it came from me but not from any family member, i was somehow intrigued why she asked me such.
"our teacher asked us to write our tombstone message. i just wrote anything that came into my mind. it is difficult right?!"
i told her, "you should have written i will be back or come with me"
seriously, it is difficult indeed. but i smiled with the way on how their teacher provoked them (and even me) to elicit deep thoughts and placed their thinking cells to work. what an odd concept to provoke such young minds (i'm still included with the latter part too :p)
after few hours, a line suddenly appeared on my mind. i guess its also a reflection of what i'm feeling and what i was thinking at the moment. here's what i formulated.
"though lived feeling alone, in heaven will be filled with love.."
what do you think? not bad eh?! how about you? have you thought about your tombstone message?Labels: current issues, life, self
