"A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits." ~Richard M. Nixon

Do you see how big the sea is?

Do you see how big the sea is? My love for you is as big as the sea.

Do you see how far the sky is? My love for you is as far as the sky.

As big as the sea and as far as the sky I love you,

I waited for you, I called upon you, I drew you on the promenades,

You sorrow of my life, you tears of the flowers, you season of the birds,

How vast the forest is, my heart is as vast as the forest.

You who are drawn on my door, and drawn in my heart,

I waited for you a year, and throughout the year I would ask the walnut trees,

and I would see you in the sunny days, coming from the sunny days, and lost in the almond leaves,

How small is a tear, and I am just a tear in your way,

I want to vow a candle so that you would let me love you.

Fayrouz's song

we cried together on skype chat this weekend. i tried to convey how hard it is in the USA these days and listened to how hard it is in China too. i have no idea how this will end or if it is already ended. my only comment is that governments should allow those people that want to be together have a chance.

moving right along

over and done now, waiting too long, she waits no more
It feels like an agonizing death, doesn't it... or, even more poignantly, like your heart is breaking a thousand times over. Repeat to yourself, "This too shall pass; this too shall pass..." because, even though it seems impossible to believe it, it will. Si, man.
