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

with a good friend
