Realisation : Removing the Hands of the Clock

 

Maybe we should remove the hour and minute hand of the clock.

Maybe we should leave only the second hand there.

Maybe we will learn to let go of the hours and the minutes.

Maybe we will forget that there is past time to miss, future time to behold.

Maybe we will learn to live by the second.

Maybe we will realise how even this second continually slips away in the second.

Maybe we will realise how easily and surely the sands of time slip through every grasping hand.

Maybe we will feel more compelled to free ourselves of time.

Maybe we should remove too the second hand.

Maybe we will experience "experience" first hand.

 

Realising you cannot retain the mind of the past, let go of haggling.

Realising you cannot hold on to the mind of the present, let go of grasping.

Realising you cannot attain the mind of the future, let go of expecting.

In this way, you let go of all time, you free yourself from time.

 

Because every "present" moment creates its own "past" and "future",

Because every "present" moment is fleeting in the moment,

so too "past" and "future" a fleeting illusion.

Find time... to let time go...

Abiding nowhere like the sky,

be free as the air in the sky.

Both Iranian twins die after separation op

 

Iranian conjoined twins Ladan and Laleh Bijani both died on Tuesday after a historic

operation to separate them. Their deaths were caused by blood loss, hospital officials said.

 

'Raffles Hospital regrets to announce that the Bijani twins, Ladan and Laleh, have both passed away during

surgery to separate them,' the hospital said in a statement.

 

'Despite the best efforts of the medical team, Ladan passed away at 2.30pm (0630 GMT) and Laleh passed

away shortly after 4pm.'

 

Dr Loo Choon Yong, chairman of Raffles Hospital, said: "When we undertook this challenge, we knew the

risks were great. But we were hopeful. Ladan and Laleh knew the risks too.

 

"As doctors there is only so much we can do, as the rest we have to leave to the Almighty."

 

Lead neurosurgeon Dr Keith Goh said: "At least we helped them achieve their dream of separation.

Naturally I am very sad, as all of us are. Over the last six months, everyone who came in contact with them

was touchd by their personalities and the kind of people they were."

 

The twins lost a lot of blood as the neurosurgical stage of the marathon operation, in which their brains

were separated, was coming to an end.

 

There was an outpouring of grief when the news of the deaths reached well-wishers keeping vigil at the

hospital, CNN said.

 

A nurse directly involved in the surgery told AP: 'Everyone upstairs is crying.

 

'We treated them like family because they had been here for seven months,' she said.

 

Bad news earlier in the day

Raffles Hospital spokesman Prem Kumar Nair had earlier in the day announced that the women were in a

critical condition.

 

The team of doctors had to contend with unstable pressure levels inside the twins' brains just before they

uncoupled the brains and cut through the last bit of skull joining them.

 

The process was slow and tedious as their brains have been fused tightly together for the last 29 years.

Their brains had to be pried apart millimeter by millimeter through the many hours of the surgery.
