Invincible Summer
“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”
Albert Camus
For Gin, who taught me the Blessings of life.
Everyday is a Good Day
Everyday is a good day
each moment a blessing,
each breath a prayer of thanksgiving
Just as the sun lay to rest
with Grace,
Strength,
Courage and
Love
In my heart, with you
everyday is the best day.
As the day ends the skyline of Boston was a glorious perfection. Its magic light suspended the burning sun who’s going to leave.
Together they traveled many miles and like floating clouds will drift apart. There will be no tears for no one is gone. The days will be silent not forgotten for as long as each sacred moonlight glow. Only happy times linger just as the sun rises.
The memory of that day with Gin & John will forever be with me. That day was a good day !
For Gin

Finishing
“When you think you have given it all, when you don’t even have the strength to stand tall, think of it as just the beginning, of the pain you will endure until finishing.”
A place breaths time
A place breaths time
simply to cleanse
your consciousness and
will Serenity.

The surf breaking on the shore

Writing on the Wall
You can clean away the graffiti
place cameras on the wall
but one thing that you can’t destroy
is my dreaming soul.

Reflections
Carefree
In the space of deep breath
I am in a restful place
peace and tranquility
Experiencing stillness
and contentment.
I am carefree.
We Are Like Nature
We Are Like Nature
Look around you,
like clouds, your thoughts
change shape as it passes through,
and disappear without a trace.
Nature is a mirror,
a teacher and inspiration.
Walking through the world,
the metaphors of connectedness.
lead to understanding the mystery of life.

Yellow Train
Yellow Train
They dream of a yellow train
moving along the tracks
alive with engines and carriages
Leaving behind restlessness
amidst the haunting silence of uncertainty
they live in a playroom of lost toys.
A blast of air signal their journey
big people in a yellow train with
no worries for tomorrow.

Everyday Life
Every day Life
Searching beyond concrete structures.
What is unknown is wearisome.
The soul will take the route of towering peak
to find rest in its quest for love and happiness.
Every day Life
Under the Watchful eyes of a Lifeguard
the lines of uncertainty
life flows.
It is a blessing of protection,
shelter from the raging sea.
Every day Life
The graceful wind a prayer of thanks.
Oftentimes remembrance of who we are
inspire greater heights of glory.

Dearest child of mine
Dearest child of mine
I have this little angel who left her wings to be with me.
Her smiles brighten my days.
Tiny hand in mine, I saw rainbows through the rain
It is the soft voice of sacred trust.
Of all the sweet little things she shared
It’s her childish scribbles on the ground,
I ♥ Mom ~ Dad,
So precious, I am moved.
Dearest child of mine
You are my little angel who left her wings to be with me.

You are special
You are special
I want you to know.
Your smiling face
forever in my heart.
You embraced and defied all odds.
Against the unrelenting heat of the rising sun,
a pattern of melting blues rest behind your steps.
Amazingly, you’ve turned this test into an art.
And soar above the clouds of eternal spring.
Reflecting on the tranquil beauty of your courage.
Let me say, You are not alone.
Take my hand and together we will
run through the hail of storms.
For my sis
