Morning—
Each person
is trying to say:
"I'm here."
—in his or her
own unique
impetuous way.
But please remember
to leave your
handprint
on a wall
and check on it
30,000
years later.
Reading Yuval Noah Harari's "Sapiens." Found this picture on Part One of a human handprint made about 30,000 years ago on the wall somewhere in southern France.

I tasted fate in different flavors,
The sourest I held the dearest.
Dripping wounds in tangy shower,
Life is but the sum of memories.

Random
thoughts
dropped in snow
Could they
become fertilizer
after this winter
O those sweet
summer tomatoes
I miss you all
Here I'm standing
in my garden
waiting for you
in this cold
in the snow

This year has just begun
The Year of the Monkey
on Chinese lunar calendar
When monkeys are out
and about, leaping above
and bouncing around
all with that careless smile
Those lucky monkeys
will bring wishes to reality
All the promises we've made
to others and to ourselves
If not then, it must be now
to count and sort things out
Shouldn't wait anymore
Just let all the monkeys out
Let's all smile a monkey's smile
and act like we've never feared
before in paradise, because
at the end, it's about nothing
but how to keep that big
mischievous monkey's smile
when our wishes suddenly
become superfluous

i write
to tuck the old day in bed
after saying goodnight to it
i hit the reset button

A dreamer
Is a wanderer—
Every voyage
Starts from within
From place to place
He is not to see things
But to match dreams
With living reality

If you ask me
where is my destiny
I would say it's where
the Sun leads me to
when its shining lights
take off my guards  
and make me feel safe
so safe, so open, 100%
in its embrace
I become free to love
and express myself
completely
That's where
I should go
That's where
we all should go
By going, we choose
our own destiny
