Dare to risk...
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach for another is to risk involvement
To expose your ideas, your deams, before a crowd is to risk their loss
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To live is to risk dying
To believe is to risk failure
~But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The people who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing, are nothing.
They avoid suffering & sorrow, but they cannot learn, change, grow, love, live.
Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves, they have forfeited their freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.

A day dreamer....
Looking upward....
Today she is visiting
I was expecting
She came upon me with
her heats
her warmness
her temper
She brighten up my soul
Awaken my spirit
She brought the very light
upon this world
of nature
of living
of love
She opened up my vision
Illuminate the living things
She carried her tears
to blend with
the air
the sky
the cloud
Rainbow was ensemble
With the drizzle
Her love for me
Sung in a lovely tune
I put up my smile
and she smile back......

Moments of life, blessing, joy......
I love mime, choreography and teaching. Especially when they are performing on the stage, it always gives me joy and delights to see the "choreography" came alive!
The training usually took about a month before the real performance; I would sweat, take it slow, brain-storming, changing the movement and style repeatedly, perfected every movement before the day finally arrive!
On the performance day, my heart was pounding, so as the mimers. The make-up, gloves, music, body stretching.... I was trying to relax the mimers. It's exciting... but at the same time it's pressure as well. Then the MC announced our team's name... it is time now, do your best mimers! Showtime! ...It's time when a teacher know he needed to step back and let them shine....
I stood far behind the back, watching all the action performing live on stage, my heart would shout, "Oh! You did it wrong again!..." "That's great!" "It's perfect!"......and then I heard the handclappings sounded in the air, it is the moments of life, blessing, joy......I wouldn't trade for anything in that moments......

River song by Lee & Dave (Two worlds)
The Water Is Wide
The water is wide, I can't cross o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And two shall row, my love and I
There is a ship that sails the sea
It's laden deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim
And when we've come to life's sweet end
Two hearts which naught but death could part
Will we be wed in a life to come
Or must we lie, the water wide
Or must we lie fore'er apart?
The water is wide, I can't cross o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row
Two hearts shall flow
My love and I
O Shenandoah * Sail Away
Sail away, sail on out
Cross the wide Missouri
O Shenandoah I long to see you
Far away you rollin' river
O Shenandoah I long to see you
Away I'm bound away 'cross the wide Missouri
Sail away, sail on out
'Cross the wide Missouri
O Shenandoah I am a rover
Far away you rollin' river
A-searchin' for the greenest clover
Away I'm bound away 'cross the wide Missouri
So it's fare thee well, my love
I'm bound to leave you
Far away you rollin' river
But Shenandoah I'll ne'er deceive you
Tho' away I'm bound away 'cross the wide Missouri
O Shenandoah I love your waters
Far away you rollin' river
O Shenandoah I long to see you
Away I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
Sail away, sail on out
'Cross the wide Missouri

Laugh at the mirror....
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Hanging on a thread of string......
My childhood eyes
Full of wonders and fantasy
With curiosity
I carried a small bench
With my bared feet standing on it
Trying to reached the mirror hanging on the wall
In my little mind
I discovered......
I would smiled and
The mirror smiled at me
I would wave my hand and
The mirror wave at me
I would make funny faces and
The mirror copied exactly what I did
I would jumped and hopped
Funny how the man in the mirror would do the same
I tried to poke my finger through it and
The mirror poke his finger on mine
Then I laugh at the mirror so hard
He looks just like me too
I was wondering how he ever get in there......

Leave me alone....
"Leave me alone", I shouted.
I ran and ran and ran......
Quiet, eerie, windy
At this corner of mine
The devil came and visit me
I was speechless
What is left to say
The feeling of abandonment
The million of comment
I can't stand it
No more......
I can't......
Ray of dim light
Color my night
The greyness of sight
It seems that nothing could be right
Feeling of sadness
Crawling into my soul
Like the cruel beast
Sucking my blood,
my flesh, my bones
Vulnerable like the dead pond
Completely dried.....

Magical touch
An Orphan without Papa
Before I knew Him as Papa
All I know it's myself,me& I......
Live In my own world!
Confusion, lies & fears
my companions
Just like an orphan
without Papa......
Fall deep in love with MTV
music with foolish words
love just yourself, care no more.......
Wasn't that what we learn
what we see, what we hear
everyday......
We all born needing love
sense of belonging to someone
hunger for attentions......
Ask yourself silently
wasn't that what we seek
looking for , crying for
Just like an orphan
without Papa......
" My child, I'm here! Waiting for you day & night
you orphan no more!!"
cried Papa......
