Sand and a Distant Star - 在那遥远的星球， 一粒沙... About a child, about a parent, about time...
went to watch on sunday with D, YZ, SY, ZS, SY's friend and ZS's friend at Esplanade.. A lot of thoughts - not all came during or immediately after the show, but here they are...
Always a Child
No matter how old a child becomes, he/she will always remain a child in the parent's eye. Sheesh I felt this especially strongly when I reached home at 230am after the show - nothing like scolding from MAMA to make you feel like a kid.
Guai Guai exclaimed to her mother that she has already grown up, but her mother just asks, "Aren't you still my child?"
There are 2 types of time - 时间有两种
One is the public time - moving like everyone else's time. The other is frozen time - the one most important moment of your life.
A twist of this thought - linked with the point about the parent always seeing their child as a vulnerable small kid -
my mom's time is frozen - at the point where I was a kid, still unable to take care of myself
my time has been moving on - I'm 20 freaking years old, for goodness sake.
Is it about time? About how long it takes for me to learn?
Is it about time? About time to let go?
