A Little Pebble To Create A Tsunami

I've has just enough time to...   throw a little pebble to create a tsunami

Taken while cruising Tanah Merah lake in Taiping, Malaysia.

I told them if -

I throw a little pebble into the sea

It could create a tsunami

But they would not believe me

They say -

Crabs walking sideways cannot learn to walk straight

The dodo birds cannot sprout wings and take to the sky

The lemmings who stop the march will get run over

Why rock the boat when it is still over the water?

Which ostrich can stop running from its own shadow?

Who will be the fool to shout “broken arrow”?

The silent men may get passage to the ivory tower

The rest will be used as cannon fodder

Courage cannot put a meal on the table

Suicide can be done without a knife

Go shoot yourself in the head

When you’re done shooting the toes

You will not live past midnight

Because you will not listen

The hollow men speak without moving their lips

Together all at once disharmoniously

I threw my little pebble out into the sea

Waiting for the waves

To blow them over!

An Island of My Own.

I've had just enough time to...   wish to retire to an island of my own.

Taken of a private island not my own in Tanah Merah Lake, Perak, Malaysia.

Out there I know

An island waits patiently,

For me to come home.

Each day

Squeezing through the crowd,

I am an island of my own.

The clock ticks

And with each impatient minute,

I heard my island calling me home.

_______

No man is an island,

No man stands alone,

Each man's joy is joy to me,

Each man's grief is my own.

We need one another,

So I will defend,

Each man as my brother,

Each man as my friend.

- John Donne
