In Greek mythology, Prometheus is the son of Iapetos and Klymene (Clymene). His name means Forethought. He was the god who, despite warning, stole fire from Zeus and gave it to the primitive mortals on earth. That, to me, is compassion. But for his crime, he was shackled to Mount Caucasus, where Zeus' eagle would rip his flesh and eat his liver every day. His wound healed quickly and so the torment would continue daily with the eagle returning for a feast. This image of sacrificial love continues to fuel the things I do, or at least, reminds me of the things I aspire towards - for the betterment of society and the good of mankind.

Snow Flakes Afloat

I was in the Bronx, just coming out of the 177th St-Parkchester station when I saw things swirling in the air. I looked around, and there was a truck that was cleaning the side of the road. I thought dust was being blown around, and started to run, brushing off the dirt as it settled on my head.

I walked farther, and realised that the swirling got bigger. I looked up and came to the conclusion that it was snowing. The gale was strong, and as one snowflake landed on my coat, I began to smile. What a pretty sight. It was indeed a lovely morning, at 9:20am on Dec 4, 2006.

As I ambled towards the High School, thoughts of Christmas overwhelmed me, and I simply enjoyed that beautiful morning -- the breeze, the snowflakes, the quiet morning in New York.

Christmas has 'officially' started for me.
