Letting Go

A Cicada, which has outgrown itself, gained the ability to crawl out of its own casing that has become too small for it to breathe.


It leaves behind an intact carcass.


"What am I going to do with such a beautiful carcass?" the cicada wonders.


Because it doesn't want to abandon a body that once belonged to it, it decides to carry the carcass around.

Because it is burdened by the cumbersome carcass, it has become easy target to the sharp-eyed birds.

Because it has become an easy prey to the sharp-eyed birds, it lives its days in fear.

Because it is constantly in fear, it starts to doubt the reason for its very own existence.


"Let it go, let it go...." the wind whispers.

"Should I?' asks the Cicada."Let it go, let it go...." the wind stresses.

"Can I?'

"Let it go, let it go...." and the wind takes off.

"Will I?" wonders the Cicada, unaware of an approaching spider, looking for its next meal....
and a praying mantis spotting the trail of that spider,

and a bird perched on a nearby branch with eyes locked on that unsuspecting mantis,

and an eagle up in the sky maneuvering its course towards that bird,

and a man tracing that eagle through the eye piece of his rifle,

and a stray comet spinning silently and slowly towards planet earth......

宇宙的 balance

坐在辦公室外的走廊，
閉著眼睛聽.......





所聽到的聲音，都是建築的敲打聲。



周圍都是 en bloc 后忙著竪立起來的新公寓。

每洞樓都往上建，

人類的道德關卻往下降.......


難道這就是宇宙所謂的 balance 嗎？

回頭的暴風雨

今年在農曆七月

我坐上一艘紙船

毫無目的的漂蕩。


暴風雨來臨，紙船依然還堅固地浮在海上。

暴風雨暫時離去，心情有種雨過天晴的感覺。

趁這機會，趕緊透透氣，松松筋骨，好準備迎待再次回頭的暴風雨。

Inspirational quotes | "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom

"None of us can undo what we've done, or relive a life already recorded. But if Professor Morris Schwartz taught me anything at all, it was this: there is no such thing as "too late" in life. He was changing until the day he said goodbye." ~ Mitch Albom

"As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on - in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here." ~ Morris Schwartz

"The problem is that we don't believe we are as much alike as we are. Whites and blacks, Catholics and Protestants, men and women. If we saw each other as more alike, we might be very eager to join in one by human family in this world, and to care about that family the way we care about our own." ~ Morris Schwartz

"We all have tha same beginning - birth - and we all have the same end - death. So how different can we be?" ~ Morris Schwartz
