in the year of the goat
The Lunar New Year is already four days old, and I am really enjoying myself these few days, doing all the things I liked, like goofing off, eating and drinking, and abusing the video game machine. And writing a blog post again.
Let's hope it will be a good year too. Tomorrow, it will be back to the daily grind.

in the year of the goat
let us then
be like the lotus
blooming out of mud
resilient & hopeful
or the sparrows that play
under the shadow of the bodhisattva
knowing that they will be protected
or the first light beams of the dawn
true and sharp and fearless
let us sing tunes
even without words
let us be then
all of these.

That is the hope for a New Year isn't it? Resilience, a new start, a fresh look at beauty.
