raystown. a fall getaway.



fall's by far the best season of the year and thanks to it, i had one of the most relaxing getaways since coming to state college. nature must have one of the best artistic flairs i've seen with its perfect colour combinations and textures, the weather's chill, cold enough to keep one excited about winter yet retaining the smell of summer nostalgically, as though reluctant to say its last goodbye. perhaps in an awareness that this season will end all too soon, i fall in love with its beauty all the more. and as all photos seek to do, these freeze-frames a temporal beauty in a temporal space and time.







and at the same juncture, i realised temporality lies in the eyes of the beholder.the hills, the trees, the lake--clearly older than my existence, yet perceived too minutely in my myopic perception of time.

and then my eyes finally saw what drew me to these picturesque sights. the knowledge that these tiny eyes (pun intended:D) can see and understand what her mighty creator can do.

psalms 121 overwhelms my thoughts.

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

so dont blame me for wanting to embrace fall, its beauty, benefits, but most importantly as a gift from God, like literally:D

it's strange how you know the holidays are here when most of your friends start disappearing. perhaps having had the burden of meeting datelines removed, it's that sudden increase in spare time that makes that wistfulness well up in you even more.
the binge blogger is back.well, can't blame me, it's just how my mind works.sometimes i just have all these ideas and little things in life coming at me but somehow, i cant put the exact words to my feelings. either that or the lazy bug in me just prefers staring at the computer screen watching jdramas than moving my brain or fingers to blog.ha.it's really just inertia.(as i already mentioned before.) but recently i realised that sometimes it's more than just that. sometimes, i forget what's on my mind. many times actually. there are times when many thoughts overwhelm me and when i try to figure one out by putting it down in words in my mind, the other thought just happily flits by. no matter how hard i try to grasp onto it before it flies away(while figuring out the other), i just dont have enough to hold onto it without forgetting a little of what ive been figuring out for the past while.then eventually my mind becomes a jumbled mess of thoughts, so tangled that i
someone asked me at work today,"why do people want to get attached?" i was actually stumped for a moment.can you believe it, after all that fuss i make about not being able to find the special someone to share my life with, that im actually lost for words? ha, i would have thought that i would be bursting with answers for her--cos it's always such a joy to have someone to share very special moments in life with you, cos you know that there's someone there who loves you during the terribly unbearable times, cos you will get to experience the sweet moments when someone does romantic gestures for you, the secure and safe feelings at the other person's touch..oh no i think i can go on forever. but why, at that moment was my mind a blank?why did i have to think so long for the answers to her question?maybe the desire to get attached wasnt such an important thing to me after all, as much as i think it is. i really surprise myself sometimes.
