This morning, a cloudy but dry morning in Incheon, I have too much to say. There are many things that I want to talk about...but I need to go to Home Plus, so I will limit myself to two topics.
Firstly, and this is the part which I have entitled "It's a sign!" in my diary. Yesterday evening I was on a bus home and I saw a sing that caused me to write this in the notepad that I carry with me for moments like this:
I just saw a road sign, as we drove past, that said, 'Begin.' Okay, I am aware that people would argue that this is only a transliteration of a place name but, actually, I think it is something more... What should I begin? Where to begin? How to begin? Is it the beginning of something? Has the race started? What exactly has commenced? Perhaps the answer will come with another sign.
And secondly, I have just finished re-reading one of my favourite books, The Little Prince, and I was struck by a particular sentence that, I believe, must have captured the hearts of many readers in the past and will continue to do so for many decades to come: "What's most important invisible..." Read that as you will.
