love song


How can I keep my soul in me, so that it doesn't touch your soul? How can I raise it high enough, past you, to other things?  I would like to shelter it, among remote lost objects, in some dark and silent place that doesn't resonate when your depths resound. Yet everything that touches us, me and you, takes us together like a violin's bow, which draws one voice out of two separate strings. Upon what instrument are we two spanned? And what musician holds us in his hand? Oh sweetest song.

- Rainer Maria Rilke


Happy Valentines Day!

happy chinese new year


Feb 3rd marks the Chinese New Year. 2011 is the year of the rabbit. Perhaps above everything, this animal is associated with peacefulness. Cooperation. Harmony. The pleasures of daily life. Refinement. No undue stress. Some things that may have not been the focus in the past year or two, at least speaking for myself. So, Happy New Year...again. I wish you all peace and love in 2011. This is the year to breathe.
