Impeccable timing, setting the mood just right. Ella Fitzgerald singing behind me, theme song from the Wizard of Oz, Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
To count exactly, it's been 14 days since I left the world of development work. I told myself I will never be coming back. A job that would give you totally natural high for doing something good for other people, for nation building, for future's generation sake. That had me busy for one point five years. Sacrifices, sacrifices everywhere!
Just got an SMS from my junior worker, er, former junior worker, telling me that my replacement just came in, reporting for duty. I told her that I would be dropping by the office the day after tomorrow to orient the newbie.
It's, plainly, starting anew, welcoming another life's chapter, building a new "cathedral" with all-improved features.
