come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
A fire flickers on a flint of wood.
It is undeniably flammable,
yet so ephemeral and minute.
Let it become large, and it engulfs.
Let it dissipate, and no one will remember.
Let your eyes mesmerize in its glow,
and the time will slip by.
Stay awake. It may be painful,
but this is the only way.

Remember what you stood up for.
All the talks, the work, and the collaborations
they meant something.
And the history won’t go away.
As you sail out there,
remember where you came from.

The warmth that I felt then
Still lasts to this day.
Thank you for your smile
which filled my soul with a soft warmth.
I forgot about it for awhile,
but your warmth has been with me after all this time.

Did you try your best?
It’s alright if things didn’t go alright.
Give it your best shot always.
You will know when you have reached there.

Let’s get up early!
Although it is painful,
it’ll be worthwhile in the end!
Believe in your gut feeling.
Keep your head up,
and keep going.

Have I strayed?
Over the years, I have learned by experience
that to be a “good person” may need an effort.
It takes the fortune, the willingness, and the environment to display such disposition.
Nevertheless, I have found it to be all the more worthwhile in the end.
It opened the door to a kind of generosity I dreamed of.
To keep a kind heart takes an effort.
But it is worthwhile in the end.

I have sensed something,
like tracing a trail of breadcrumbs,
a feeling like something is out of place.
Some had commented in passing,
as if there’s a stain on my face I don’t recognize.
But only recently have I started feel it,
a sense of distancing, a sense of refusal, or a sense of defiance.
What is this? Has this always been here?
It’s a curious phenomenon, one that calls my immediate attention.

I hope you will find the way.
When you are tired or hurt,
Remember you are loved.
Many in the past and future
have, and will love you.
With what I can, I will do my part.
Take good care of yourself.

One more time, let’s shine.
Get back up and build it again,
even if it will fall down.
I have a dream. It’s not just for myself,
but for the ones I love.
In spite of all imperfections and mistakes,
I will continue on,
and we will cherish it together when we get there.

Stakes are high,
sights are unclear,
time is short.
So make your move.
Stare at the sky,
overcome your fear,
let go of “more”
contemplate the love.
