It Ain’t Summer

Summer Flip-Flops

… until the flip-flops come out to play. I’m even thinking about making ice-cream just because it’s summer and there’s nothing like digging into a bowl of ice-cream on a hot afternoon. Hmm…

Even with a little over 4 months left for me here in Bhutan, this is my fourth season here since arriving at the tail-end of Autumn last year. To sum up the four seasons:

Autumn – Pretty blue skies!
Winter – Snow!
Spring – … When?
Summer – Re-introduced toes to sun. And rain.

Together

For lack of better content, but mainly because I’m such a sucker for sappy poems.

PS: Miss K and Mr T, this is apparently a very popular wedding poem. Hint hint wink wink. ;)

Love
- Roy Croft

I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.

I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.
I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can’t help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.

I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple;
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.

I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.
You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign.
You have done it
By being yourself.
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means,
After all.

Yes, You. All 3 of you.

It’s been 229 days / 7 months 16 days / 5496 hours / 329,760 minutes / 19,785,600 seconds since I arrived in Paro. I thought I would be writing a grand piece summing up all my wonderful experiences to celebrate my 6-month anniversary here but instead, that flew by and flew well under the radar since The Parents were here.

So here I am, a month and a half late, sitting in front my laptop, thinking. And wondering.

But mostly waiting for inspiration to hit.

Uhm nope, not happening.

I guess I will do my grand piece thing in a couple more months.
