a conclusion begins

so today's the conclusion of 'reading week'
or what i used to call it 'work to death week'
but this one, this year, i'd call it the 'relax and enjoy week'

it is also close to the conclusion of february...
a month of...

well...a few words won't do it justice,
it's a month that will stay in my mind for many years to come.
i think it's a month where i grew up so much more than i would want to...

to know less, to understand less, to care less,
may be some things i wish,

to erase this month?
sometimes i see that as a good thing,

yet i think in this month,
i've encountered a person that i'll meet in heaven
and i use the word encountered, lightly,
i've been reading a book i just got 'the five people you meet in heaven,' reading it till i almost fall asleep in bed for a few days,
a story about a man who finds out that heaven is a place you learn about your life through five people, why things happened

those five people would have impacted your life in a certain way that you will find out only in heaven.

i quote from the book
" 'no life is a waste,' the blue man said. 'the only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.' "

that is also my conclusion to this month.
