Here I Am:

Love being hooked by a wife’s sly glance, chatting with friends about inequities of the world order, strolling aimlessly the streets of downtown Vancouver, listening to indie rock at full volume (when I am alone at home), the feeling you get when nothing bad has happened.

Loved trusting people, but life taught me a lesson. Loved drinking, but switch to coffee and black tea.

Look at life as a grueling race; rush to a gleam of light at the very end of a long tunnel.

Here I am

Love walking, wind in my face, down rainy winter sidewalks, stirring steaming soup pots on the stove, reading a new story beside a lake at sunset, kissing both cheeks (women’s and men’s) like the Italians do, the feeling you get when your pie turns out perfect.

Loved the hubbub of a small house filled with children, but now my nest is empty. Loved to ski the loop trail up at Cypress, but gave my skis away long ago.

Look at life as a tree standing a thousand years in the coastal forest; in fifteen minutes a logger can lay it down.

Here I am

Love playing my electronic drums, driving a lengthy road trip with my family, walking on white sand beaches with friends (sadly only in tropical countries), forward-looking into my life goals and ambition, the feeling you get when the reality appears to be direct.

Loved visiting my aunt’s house when I was younger, but now life turned out to be busier. Loved spending lots of free time with old friends, but now several has left to pursue their career and education.

Looking life indeed short, but great opportunity here and there, while it’s always present and appears with you, grab it.

Here I Am

Love having a coffee at the break of day, walking on the beach holding a love one’s hand, peaking at the sun through the trees, gathering knowledge by others experiences, kissing my baby’s hand (but she always pinches me), the feeling you get when you meet your family after a long tired day.

Loved shopping with mom when I was in my home country, but now we are far away from each other. Loved rain, but here it rains a lot, so now I like sunshine.

Look at life as a rose; to touch its silky petals don’t be afraid of thorns.

Loved my grandmother, her white hair still sways in my dream. Loved holding her soft and warm hand, walking along the old street in my memory, the picture is getting faded but never disappearance in my mind.

Edna:

Love arriving home after a long day of work, listening to nothing more than the heating going on and off, Making plans for my next trip in my head and considering the best option, while relaxing to the soothing sound of the heater.

Loved, playing around with my sisters, as children growing up together, but now we are all grown up and our ideas and activities have changed.

Look at life as if, each day is a new beginning, each day brings its own challenges, joy and work, and tomorrow it all starts again.

Here I Am

Love loud music while driving to
work with the windows down. I love to spend my weekends with my two sisters. Nature makes me alive, and that I’m in a different world. Sitting by the water, painting relaxes me. The new moon is like a new real hope to forget yesterday, and think about today.
Yesterday is history,tomorrow is a mystery,today is a gift of God,which is why we call it the present.
