we cannot change the cards we are dealt,
just how we play the hand.

Rob and Go
late evening, we arrived at Krakow. in haste, we booked a morning tour to Auschwitz-Birkernau and an afternoon tour to Wieliczka Salt Mine from Rob&Go.
next morning, we scuttled down. 2 minutes late, Singaporeans in our element. no bus. 5 minutes. no bus. 10. 15. 20. 30. still none in sight.
we headed back to the office. the sign was gone. tables cleared.
and it was then, it dawned upon us. we were robbed. and the bus was pretty much gone.
optimism at its best. perhaps, the office shifted. perhaps, the bus driver fell sick. perhaps, we were really late and Polish lives by polished time.
and so we waited for the bus on the afternoon tour. 1 minute. 3. 5. 10. 20. 30. fuck.
i was beginning to hate Poland.
late afternoon, headed for the police station. a Polish lady acted as my translator for nearly an hour at the station. and then, two enthusiastic policemen phoned fifteen minutes to hunt down the head of Rob&Go.
it turns out, that Robert was just about the nicest guy ever. he drove all the way to refund my money, insisting it was his staff who misheard and not us who might have misspoke.
a miscommunication on addresses, you see. and at least we were right about shifting offices.
i was beginning to love Poland.
and perhaps, we hate in ease. we love in effort.
the voices in my head-
i love my girl. a love so beautiful, symmetrical, tangible
God loves me. a love so great, unconditional, real.
my life in a nutshell. working towards loves of sorts. beautiful, symmetrical, tangible, great, unconditional and real.
a page, deliberately left blank.
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
I Corinthians 13:4-8
