the trees
Consider the trees which allow the birds to perch and fly away without either inviting them to stay or desiring them never to depart. If your heart can be like this, you will be near to the way.
Tangled
Watched “Tangled” as suggested by Bop to. What a nice movie! My heart dances with it. Fairy tales never die huh. I love Maximus and the bandit who collects ceramic unicorns.
Flower gleam and glow,
let your power shine
Make the clock reverse,
bring back what once was mineHeal what has been hurt,
change the fate’s design
Save what has been lost,
bring back what once was mine
Joni Mitchell
Watched “The kids are all right” and cried a bit, for what I don’t know. Get to know Joni Mitchell music. Thanks, good movie.
It’s coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don’t snow here
It stays pretty green
I’m going to make a lot of money
Then I’m going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I’m so hard to handle
I’m selfish and I’m sad
Now I’ve gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
in a word
I borrowed this book from the library, hard cover. So far this is literally the biggest one I have ‘touched’. Heavyy.
Every 2 pages tells about one country in the world, usually 1 page full of pictures, the other its information. They have one item called “In a word” where they choose 1 word/phrase to kinda tell you something about the place. In most countries the greeting word is selected.
I quickly jumped to Vietnam to see what they pick. And?
“Troi oi” (Oh my!)
Hm, wanna say that word when I saw it. Though it’s not a bad choice, I don’t think it’s a good one… If I were to choose, perhaps “Khoe khong”. Doesn’t sound good either :D.
Reminding me I once thought of the word I love the most. It’s “thuong”.
Also flipped to Singapore to see ‘the word’. And, to my surprise, ‘Kiasu’ o_o.
