Speed: goodbye 2014, greeting 2015 with the Beatitudes

Ice skating: One of my favourite activities, self-taught when I was living in Hawaii, with no special or fancy techniques.... speed is the key! So my life has been...

Coincidentally, my spiritual time passage today was Ecclesiastes "fleeting, fleeting, life is fleeting", and in the afternoon my mobile phone bible software popped up the scripture "life's brevity" Psalm 90:12

After the skating session, my car couldn't start up... roadside assistance people say this type of car key only had a limited number of usage and stops functioning once it's past that number.

Then, the bodies of the Air Asia QZ8501 passengers started floating up the shores...

2014 has been a rough year around the world.

Condolences... and time to reflect again
