its funny how the end of a marriage can mean nothing, and a lot of it

the view is breathtaking
the 12th floor seems quite dizzingly high in the third world landscape
the white lights dot the edge of the water, spinning out to pin pricks of probably frantic fishing activity miles away

standing in the wind, hair and clothes being whipped into pleasing streams behind her, she stands, watching, inhaling the beautiful city.

far far away tiny people go about their night life - a maid closes a curtain in a window far below, a boy walks like a little action figure on the ground to the car.

a little miniature painting, put on for her benefit.

is this how God feels, so high in the sky?

looking down at us little insignificant specks, hurtling, full of self importance and pompous problems which mean nothing, being ground to ash and dust in cosmic seconds, living out a giant chess board of good against evil while happily oblivious in the matrix waiting to get the next quarterly promotion and the next annual bonus

maybe we're all just as pathetic as the spineless bastard.

scary.

Beautiful!
but I disagree.. I don't deny the insignificance of it all, but there's nothing preventing us from creating our own tiny world of happiness (with as few spineless bastards in it as possible heh). There's definitely more to life. I truly hope you find it one day.

When you write a screen play of all this, do remember me. I just might have the perfect music for almost all touching scenes:D

P.S
Not contemporary. Would you be ok with something old?
