Life & Something Like That

'We come into this world crying while all around us are smiling.  May we so live that we go out of this world smiling while everybody around us is weeping.'
~ Persian proverb

...this is dedicated to my father who passed on 22 August 2011.  Dad.. if you are reading this, it took me a long while to weep and I cried only because everyone expects me to.  Why must I cry?  I am part of you and you are with me day in, day out.  I see you when I look at my reflection.  I see you when I see chicken curry.  I see you when I have a cup of black coffee with dates.  I don't see a reason why must I weep.
