I suppose the best effort
is one where you can’t think any more
you are just pushing your body
as the gravity pull you down
focusing on breathing
and making sure you are awake
it is a grueling grind
but surely all these will pay off.

Effort
give it all you’ve got each moment
live each moment with wide eyes
breath in the air in clear mind.
once you let your attention go,
time will start to fly like a kite,
and when you open your eyes,
you, and the world, has already changed.
live the moment.
remember the moment.

Summit
“have I done my best today?”
I asked myself
as I stared at a blinking cursor
on my computer monitor.
“no, not yet”
I thought to myself
as I typed a few more keys
on my keyboard, relentlessly.
“where is the summit?”
I wondered to myself
and I implored the world in my heart
found the people I’ve met,
stories we shared,
and saw them pointing towards the bright light
next to the blinking cursor
on my computer monitor.

Cloud candy
I smoked a cigarettes for the first time
in almost 10 years
in my dream.
it felt so real
I had to remember
the dryness in my mouth
is not the nicotine tar
but unwashed icecream from night before.
let us not let our guard down
to the “one-offs”
let us stay awake
and walk up this hill
towards the threshold
where all efforts will prevail.
