The other day i passed by a chinese groceries store, and they have a notice pasted on the window written - 'We sell variety of Moon cakes'. It's september...and Chinese moon cake's festival is around the corner...It reminds me of my aunt and my granma, who had passed away in September 2 years ago..
It has been 2 years since their death.....But everytime when i think of home, and my families, i could still see their face. I wonder what will they be doing now if they were still alive..My aunt would probably be folding the clothes for her family in the living room with my uncle watching history chanel beside.. And my granma instead,would probably be watching something on tv holding a cane in her hand in case of dog 'attack' her (she likes to sniff her wheelchair..)and eventually doze off..The fact that they're not here anymore seems so unreal..And I never expected that the last time i saw them before i left home, has also been the the very last time..
And i thought of my dad's friend, who died of brain cancer..
And i thought of my cousin's friend, who took away her own life..
And all the others, who lost their life in setember 11..
So here, is a poem dedicated to them..and may all of them rest in peace.
A PLACE TO REST
God looked down on your body,
So tired from hanging on,
From a life that was overwhelming you,
And wanted back His son.
So he took away the air you breathe,
And gave you what was best,
A place to be at peace,
A final place to rest.
Daily happening of my life here in Italy.. sweet and bitter..

Quotes
Come uno scoglio isolato,
che indomito affiora dal mare
Affronta i vortici del mondo e sconfiggili,
Vivendo come credi.
Per diventare come sei veramente.
[D.Ikeda]
There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting,
challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.
