An epiphany - "The little things in Life"

Hi all,

i just had an epiphany, well....actually is not a 'just' thing, it hit me about 2 days ago, i was just too lazy to type it down. There is this writer named Marcel Proust, he would write about the most trivia of matters in the most *entertaining(sorry, couldn't find a better word) way. He told us how to have a cup of tea or eat a cookie. He could spent thirty pages on the taste of a madeleine or on not being able to sleep at night. These works have the ability to reawaken our senses. Notice things that were thought not worthy of time and effort, we were in a way, ignorant, to the beauty of "The Little things in Life"
I read about this writer some time ago, and i felt that his works were inventive and orginal, but i never attempted to actually try and understand his stand and reason on things. Not until lately, when i was a little down on the things happening or not happening in my life for that matter. I was on a the bus home from camp, it was a short ride but a good one. It was raining slightly that day and i was deep in thought, i was thinking of a way in which i can change my perspective in life so much so that i would convince myself of a way to make it all better, then i thought of him, Marcel Proust, the guy who made drinking a cup of tea seem like an experience worth talking about.
After graduating from poly, and entering NS, i got so bitter along the way that i got lost, so busy spitting on the ground i stood on that i forgot. forgot that i could sip tea, eat a cookie or even just smelling the rain....
i'm back.

bye
