it could be so simple // 10:35 pm
In a din of screams and laughter, I notice the little one who hardly ever speaks. He has round glasses and a very small dark face, hair shaved almost to bald. He stands there by the fence next to the river. Across the river, a wall of mountain foliage, green and lush. Layers upon layers of green, but feels almost two-dimensional, looming so tall above him. So there he stands, looking intently down at something in the river.
Curious, I walk to him and ask, "J, why aren't you playing with the rest of your classmates?"
"I'm looking." He points to what he is looking at. A man with a net full of silver fish and his line in the water.
"I have never try fishing before." He says. I offer him candy I have in my bag and watch too. "I like it."
"It's not boring to you?"
"No, it is relax."
"Relaxing."
"Yes."
A fish suddenly jumps out of the water and back in, a tease. The man laughs, "I wish it jumped right into my net." J laughs too. He turns to me and says, "One day, I want to do fishing. The fish is as fast as a flash."
Someone calls my name, I nod at J and walk away.
(But I want to remember that moment so much. I've done it all wrong. I've looked at it all wrong. You know, you could just look at the little things and find them immensely beautiful. You could just breathe in little moments like that and watch quietly. It doesn't always have to be doing things, being places. It could be quiet watching and things that come could be so simply magnificent and those moments belong to you and no one can take those away from you.)

mindscape // 7:10 am
To escape
There's a place deep inside where I embark. I get on the train in the middle of the softly undulating clarity. It goes everywhere and nowhere at the same time. The ripples around me are soothing and for moments I am allowed to be liberated from the arresting emotions of my days.

逆風飛翔 // 8:42 pm
不夠幸運 你說你 注定飛不上天際
就快要 失去繼續的力氣
不要 害怕失敗會受傷
努力啊乘著夢想往前 別說累總有人在你身旁 為你加油啊
逆著風也要飛翔 很辛苦也要堅強
帶著夢想 去飛翔
努力啊乘著夢想往前 別怕黑總有人在你身旁 為你祝福啊
逆著風也要盼望
很受傷也要勇敢
- 蕭煌奇
so cheesy... but in the middle of these tough challenging days, it's light and it
gives me just the little lift I need to chin up and keep crawling forward
feel like I'm really「逆風飛翔」 every day............
