Happy New Year!

before this year ends, im taking a moment to think about all the things ive gone through...
good or bad,i wouldn't have them if i didn't need them...Thank God, i would not have been able to survive them all if not for his grace and mercy...
anticipating a new year feels like im on top of mount fuji facing the sunrise,wind blowing on my face...lyk, having a cup of hot coco snuggled in a blanket waiting for the dawn to emerge from the horizon...
i am praying for grace, His constant grace...that's all i need for the coming year.

Hello stranger...

there you go again...
poppin' in my dreams just like that.
i barely knew you and yet nature
has always had a way of letting me know that
you still exist.all those glimpses of you, in your red beetle, in the taxi,
at the mall, at the university streets...
and now in my dreams...sigh.
I do get the feeling that when i get home during the holidays, i'd see you again...
whatever it is, i wish that you would serve the purposes by which you live...
see you around stranger...

love..love...love

People talk about love as though it were something
you could give, like a armful of flowers.
and a lot of people give love like that-just dump
it down on top of you, a useless strong-scented burden.
I don't think it is anything you can give

Love is a force in you that enables you to give other things.
It is the motivating power. It enables you to give strength
and freedom and peace to another person. It is not a result;
it is a cause. It is a power like stream or electricity. It is valueless
unless you can give something else by means of it.
