SPRING SLEEPThe pillow's low, the quilt is warm, the body smooth and peaceful,Sun shines on the door of the room, the curtain not yet open.Still the youthful taste of spring remains in the air,Often it will come to you even in your sleep.

SPRING DAWNSpring dawn arrives unnoticed in my slumber,Till I hear birds twittering everywhere.It springs to mind a storm raged through overnight,Off it blew how many flowers I wonder?

Quote
The sensation of the ocean bearing my weight was the most carefree lightness I’d ever experienced. When we were halfway across the strait, the sound of an engine approached from a distance—it was probably the police coast guard. We quickly ducked under the surface of the water, exposing only the tips of our trunks so we could breathe.

The government does not have a lot of answers, so the more we rely on the government, the more dependent we become, and the more we put our faith into the hands of others.

This is my mantra.
