My Dragon Fly and Me
If I could be a Dragon Fly and wing my way through the sky I would never be shy just me and my Dragon Fly!
By moonlight we ride the wind chase the comets tail for fun by day we would hide from the sun our fragile wings would come undone
On darkest nights we would use fireflies as our guide we would dip and we would glide through the heavens open wide and scatter diamonds in the night sky my Dragon Fly and me...
And we would wing past our lovers silent in the night... to kiss their face in our flight much to their surprise and delight my Dragon Fly and me in sight...
Such a view do we share away up here in the air of breezes soft through our hair my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

GM, NYA, I did indeed have a restful night, so much so that I woke long before the chickens. Here we go again with screwy sleep patterns. ;(
My you’re up early!

Always Marry An April Girl
Praise the spells and bless the charms,
I found April in my arms.
April golden, April cloudy,
Gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy;
April soft in flowered languor,
April cold with sudden anger,
Ever changing, ever true —
I love April, I love you.

Memory of April
You say love is this, love is that:
Poplar tassels, willow tendrils
the wind and the rain comb,
tinkle and drip, tinkle and drip—
branches drifting apart. Hagh!
Love has not even visited this country.

Hi everyone!
Well, I'm off to Thailand tomorrow. My visa application is experiencing some bumpiness, but nothing that shouldn't even out.
This job I'm working in is one of the most positive I have ever experienced here in Taiwan, and that's including back in the late 80s/early 90s when I first came here and they were much more traditional.
The people down here are quite confident and proud, so none of the uptight insecurities I wrote about previously exist down here. None at all!
And the food is great, southern cookin', ample portions, and prepared with love. You know good people just love good food.
I myself have chilled more and more with my study of various philosophies, so it's so much easier for us to dial into one another's frequency than it has ever been before. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, my Chinese is beginning to flow towards true fluency. Amazing when there's no culture shock one's faculties function so much more effortlessly.
Ironically, after a short flight to Thailand, I can just walk into the nearest Internet cafe and log on again! Amazing, the Internet Age, isn't it? If I didn't mention I'd switched countries you'd never know it!
Immediately after we bought the non-refundable ticket to Thailand it turned out that I could have only gone for a day or so, but we scheduled 5 to do all the visa stuff, which I now won't need to do. To tell you the truth I'd rather just stay here in Southern Taiwan, where the living is easy. But I'll wander around and look for interesting tidbits to share with the Lair while I'm in Bangkok.
I should be sitting in an Internet cafe in Bangkok about 24 hours from now.

Thanks, I'll follow your recipe for a good life! But I'm confused where this line comes in:
When we fight ourselves, no one wins.
What does this mean? :-)

To: starbase
A short version of what I mean.
Well, if you and I have a disagreement, there are two of us involved in the struggle which can be resolved or agree to disagree.
However, if I am fighting myself there is no winner or loser in an internal struggle. Only my head to hear.
I probably have not made myself clear here, but I do hope you can get the concept of what I am talking about.
Kind of like fighting with myself should I have a piece of pie or not. On that order anyway.

Ah, I see what you're saying. Touches on our discussion of how perspective dictates experiences, as Martha Washington chimed in with that quote you shared previously.
Yes, I'll certainly bear that in mind. Well, gotta head out. Need to buy an electronic mosquito repeller before the evening shops close at 11pm. (mosquitoes are enjoying a very populous spring here this year!)
Signing out for now, see you all from Bangkok soon!
Cheers,
starbase

The best of the afternoon to you!

I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For, so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For who has sight so keen and strong, That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
