The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
[...]
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant to travel.
None of these will bring disaster.
Does the art of losing really get easier? Like going numb? One of my few but close girlfriends here in Australia, Barbara, (affectionately referred to as Babsi) has decided to move to Kuala Lumpur for work with her partner, Troy. My first reaction was surprise at such a big decision. Then I thought of my own decision to move half way across the world to live and work, and my surprise turned to understanding and acceptance. Of course, I am still sad, and will miss Babsi terribly. But now....I'm looking forward to visiting her and Troy in Malaysia =)
