Brilliant indeed. I was reading this to Gabs last night. We read some other ones but this one really stood out. 
Blake brilliant here. And it struck the right chord. Isn’t it brilliant too, what the "Del" key does? Hee hee.

<b>A Poison Tree</b>
I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I water’d it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright;
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,
And into my garden stole
When the night had veil’d the pole:
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretch’d beneath the tree.
— William Blake

Someone stole my apple!
So anyways after leaving the office last night I popped over to Nav’s to return him his iPod Shuffle. Apparently he hurt himself at the gym coz some chick went "Boo!" to her boyfriend who was just behind Nav. Nav was in the midst of raising 30kg dumbells to do his flys. The effect was that he dropped the dumbells on his hips and wrenched his shoulders and his wrist. Then he called me and blamed me. "If I was plugged into my iPod I wouldn’t have been hurt!" He was kidding. After Nav’s I went and said a quiet prayer. Then it all went away today. So that was it.
Went to the office early today, set up the machines and got to know the new assistant over coffee. Afterwhich I went to collect premiums from a client and headed down to Esplanade. I got a call from Ramli who told me that Fendi was performing at the concert hall. It’s this Lunchbox thing that happens on the last Tuesday of the month. It was good! Munir was playing the guits and generally the band was cohesive. Excellent! I went to the gym after that.
At the gym I met this guy who I recognised as my junior in secondary school. He’s a PE teacher and get this: he’s the one that engaged the company that does the outdoor camps that I instruct at. The next time they want this camp done, they’ll request specifically for US! Hah! is that like awesome or what? I’m now at Balaclava waiting for N and A, and Ramli to arrive.
Sigh. Things have been mixed today and generally good. My mind’s clear and my prayer’s answered. It’s all good once I decided that little people and little things only make up white noise. Irritating but inconsequential. Patience is a skill that’s hard to prefect but it’s worth it! I’m in a good mood. What did Freddie Mercury sing? "Don’t stop me now….I’m Mr Farenheit…." Wheeeeeeee!
