秋花惨淡秋草黄,耿耿秋灯秋夜长。 
已觉秋窗秋不尽,那堪风雨助凄凉! 

“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” - Mark Twain
I don't fear death either; I feel it's just like going to sleep but not waking up the next morning. However, I fear suffering.

However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
-Regina Brett

I also read
眼看他起高楼，眼看他宴宾客，眼看他楼塌了。

帘外雨潺潺，春意阑珊，罗衾不耐五更寒。
梦里不知身是客，一晌贪欢。 
独自莫凭阑，无限江山，别时容易见时难。
流水落花春去也，天上人间。 

炫耀一下我的瑜伽成就:) so called body composition

Progress on my second month of dedicated yoga practice... toward split

小女孩，小女孩，我家也有个。

What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice
And everything nice,

小男孩就差点
What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails
And puppy-dogs' tails,
That's what little boys are made of.

来时糊涂去时迷，空在人间走一回
生我之前谁是我，生我之后我是谁
不如不来亦不去，也无欢喜也无悲

I try to keep a cheerful spirit in this holiday season, especially for my little daughter. It's not easy, knowing losing job means losing my visa, and I have to get out of the US. Working hard and being loyal didn't generate the result I expected; I didn't take a single look at the job boards in the last three years; I was fully focusing on the job with my employer.
I should have done more to make sure I am in demand on the job market. Being let go is unavoidable, sadly.

轻倚时光，一帘秋雨微凉，让笔墨尽致远，让花香醉心田。
我不再为落花而叹息，不再为叶黄而悲秋。静静地感悟生命的存在，静静地聆听季节的流淌。
我以如莲的心境微笑着将爱情的花瓣珍藏，我以如莲的心境将亲情的温暖捡拾。

亲爱的编辑：我是现在8岁的Nicoli
我的小朋友们说，圣诞老人不是真的。
爸爸说：“如果你看《太阳报》也这么说，那就是真的了”。
请告诉我真相：真的有圣诞老人吗？
弗吉尼娅·欧汉伦
95大街西115号

弗吉尼娅，你的小朋友们错了。... 他们没有看见就不信。他们觉得他们小小脑袋里想不到的事情，都是不存在的。所有的头脑，弗吉尼娅，不管是大人的还是小孩的，都是很小的。在我们这个广大的宇宙里，人不过是一只小虫子，比起周围无边的世界，掌握全部真理和知识所需要的智慧，我们的智慧就像一只蚂蚁。

真的，弗吉尼娅，圣诞老人是真的。... 是啊！要是没有圣诞老人，这世界会多没意思啊。恐怕就会像没了弗吉尼娅一样没意思。童年的永恒光芒将不再照耀这个世界。

...这些都是真的吗？啊，弗吉尼娅，在整个世界上，再没有比这更真实和永久的事情了。

...圣诞老人...他永远活着。从现在起一千年，弗吉尼娅，不，从现在起十个一万年之后，他还会继续将快乐带进童心里。


(My little boy, when he was eight, firmly believed Santa, and wrote to Santa, and heard back from Santa too. Santa is still there, forever, with the beautiful years)

Lonely this Christmas 1974:
when I was so little; I didn't know there is a thing called loneliness in the world.
 

The little girl has never seen her mother, so she drew a mom on the ground and fell asleep with her. Iraqi Orphanage.

Checkpoint for four months of practice at Hotbox Yoga Studio.
I can lift into head stand in slow motion as most people do.
I am also aiming at HAND stand as my ultimate achievement if that's possible for me at all.
