To find shards of light in the river of darkness, the joy in bleaker times is, of course, an acquired skill in life that many, especially at the moment, seem to lack >.>
In my many moments of procrastination, which I prefer to call "breaks" :P, I'm currently staring out the window at the moment at a sky of the palest blue, laced with white streaks of wispy clouds. The radio's on and a soulful catchy song is pumping in the background (Natalie Bassingthwaithte's 1000 stars btw :P) The sunlight baths all that it touches in a golden sheen. Then, something stirs deep inside, or more like there is momentary glimpse of a still sense of contentment, of peace. Something so rare in this chaotic world, where greed rules and dissatisfaction seems far too common. Ok, so I may have a massive truck load of homework that I will do, (after this ^^") my right hand kinda still hurts a lil (damn my unco-ness! >.<) plus plenty more things that I should've done, but somehow, today, right now, these things aren't spinning me into disastrous whirlpool (just yet but meh....:P) That instant of simply accepting the things that are happening or have happened, good or bad, that instant seems to just override all that - even if it is for a mere moment. How long has it been since you've last felt like this? Is this a chance experience or but a state of mind? Can one voluntarily be in, and feel, such unwavering power and tranquility. Nevertheless I am still smiling, and feel as if I can face all that is in front of me, despite the bleakest of news and situations that I must face.
The song now fades into silence, and the sun begins to settle beneath the horizon. Yet another song starts continuing the cycle of music, like the life we share with others that make it so special, it keeps going. Through the highs and lows. Which brings me to another one of my many random quotes: :P

~Life is a melodious song, so listen and dance to the music that's in play, and don't wait for merely the finale.
