Someday this pain will be useful to you

Many times people keep wanting
Things simply seduce their thoughts
Of the good and beautiful objectifications
Of their fantasy and unfulfilled reality
First thing is to keep watch on them,
Not to slaughter 'em at once:
Rather to sort it out
-- Just like flight passangers
to their correct/rightful destinations

Funny to observe
Silly to realize
That people tend to do the exact opposite
of what they expect

Try not to be odd,
then you'll never exposed to the fun of life.

Try not to be a little bit crazy,
Then your life will bore you out.

Try to avoid rejection,
soon you'll crave for acceptance.

Try to avoid mockings,
Then you'll never know the very best part of you.

Try not to open yourself up,
Then you'll find yourself in lonely life.

You'll never get what you want in life
unless you ask and go for it

Be silly.
Be odd and awkward.
Look stupid.
Grow a little bit crazy.
Let your soul free and open to the sun.
Then it'll pay off;

Caress and seduce risk:
And feel the juice pouring out
from its core
And that juice is what we call...
love and success

Eureka!

For my friend...

"There are no more satisfying
and rewarding moments than
That moment of studying and of loving..."

Studying?
Yeah. As simple as to learn how to smile
Or as lofty as to read politics
Ask why?
For by then you value the progress of mankind
And not the lullaby and dull confined mortality

Loving?
Yeah. As simple as giving a hug to an old friend,
Or feeding the starving birds on the streets.

Thus, you value two most powerful forces
In the nature and in the universe:
progress and life!

Loneliness no longer has its sting;
Nor does death.
Even if you are by yourself
-- as it seems by the bare eyes--
You can still pray and ponder; for all.
The very acts of study and love

For as studying meets lessons and wisdom from...
the past for the future,
So loving is simply being in the present,
embraces reality.

These are powerful roots and foundations
which from ages to ages
stand firm like pillars of clouds,
and bear thousands fruits of goodness
and uphold a structure of greatness

Inspired by warm encounter
with a good friend
for a coffee time at Pioneer square.

Oregon's fertile lands

It is as Uzbek used to say:
That the guest is the first person in the home
Kind and trusting becomes the root of their fragrance
And that scent reaches the clouds
The same clouds deliver it even to the South

Easy to open,
As in the opening up the maze of novelty
And the jungle of knowing and revealing.
A handful of friendship seeds casted
And the sprouts of trust growing
In the field of Oregon's fertile lands
