a trip
just got back from CT. made this trip there with LW, C, A and C. the festive mood of CNY filled the air of CT. the streets were lighted up with a whole array of colourful lights. indeed people's hearts were all ready for the coming of CNY. as we walked down the streets, we decided to enter a certain religious place of worship. they were having a ritual. many of them looked to their god (which was in the form of a statue) and they worshipped. as i stood there to watch, i experienced a mixture of emotions. i felt a little uncomfortable i must say. it's the first time i stepped into a religious place of worship other than that of my own religion. i was uncomfortable because the people were doing things that i knew not of and i was so close to the statues (not that they mean anything). somehow, the whole environment just didn't feel right. as they proceeded with their ritual, all i could do was to stand and watch. there were too many things i couldn't comprehend. i felt really sad for them. standing there, i blinked a few times to get rid of the tears that were starting to well up in my eyes. if only they knew the truth............
help me to trust.
