Fearless

Remain

If things were not right I would not be here. However many ways that sentence can be interpreted, look at it again with a more objective perspective. In a world, built for the courageous, the intelligent, the leaders, the irony couldn’t be more vivid as the truth carries its delighting scent into the realms of the moving world. Courage shows itself to be nothing other than hidden fear, yet the relentless battle between the fear itself can be triumphed by nothing other than courage. As someone said, “we don’t know how strong we are, until being strong as all that we can be.” I can talk about intelligence and quote Einstein’s “everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will forever think it’s stupid,” and I could talk about how society’s portrayal of intelligence may be the very reason why we really haven’t seen ourselves doing intelligent things, but I just want to ask, why do we want to be brilliant?

It’s odd that my thoughts are everywhere, but I just want to leave a quote that will never be too old nor boring, “Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure”

Love Letters by Jiang Zhi

Every love letter written is another one burnt, a wise man once said. Disregard the fact that flowers will inevitably wither and die, you’re better off expediting the process by setting them ablaze yourself. Maybe your heartache can be assuaged by the beautiful colors these flowers emanate as they die.

So a C, an E-flat, and a G walk into a bar. The bartender says, “sorry, but we don’t serve minors.”
So E-flat leaves, and C and G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and G is out flat. F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.
Then D comes in and heads for the bathroom saying, “Excuse me. I’ll just be a second.”
Then A comes in, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor.
Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and says, “Get out! You’re the seventh minor I’ve found in this bar tonight.”
… E-flat comes back the next night in a three-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says, “you’re looking sharp tonight. Come on in, this could be a major development.” Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit and everything else, and is au natural.
Eventually, C, who had passed out under the bar the night before, begins to sober up and realizes in horror that he’s under a rest. So, C goes to trial, is convicted of contributing to the diminution of a minor and sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an up scale correctional facility.
The conviction is overturned on appeal, however, and C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless.
The bartender decides, however, that since he’s only had tenor so patrons, the soprano out in the bathroom and everything has become alto much treble, he needs a rest and closes the bar.

There is not much to justify the warm glow that you hold. It’s natural how the tears that you tell, speak of the cheeks that it’s flowed. And the heart that it slowed. And the eyes that it stowed. Those lips that utter feathers, can it reveal that brokenness that you embark on? Oh, the sights that this war has tasted. You know that it has tore you apart. The question can only arise so patiently and yet so curiously. Will it overcome me? Once more, this beauty that speaks for itself has taken another furious blow. Looking from afar with my pulse hidden in these boots, I can only wonder, this reckless abandonment, the loss, the pride. Having it all laid out in front of me. Will the ground that I walk on, be the ground that searches deep into my very being and nudge me to continue, or will this ground be the very testament that warns me to remain steady in the dangerous path that I will never forget about? I will remain. Choose to continue on the dangerous path. The hidden beauty that has been uncovered may remain to be there when the destination has been reached, but my heart will continue to dwell on the promise that it will be worth it. There will be a time, when this road that I walk on will diverge elsewhere, but for now, the path is chosen. It’s time.

““You need to have compassion, kindness and not be judgmental. Society is very materialistic – people are judged by what they do as a doctor, lawyer or engineer. But that’s all secondary to being a good human being.””
