About Me:
I have joined Gaia for quite sometimes now, for me the place to learn, to grow, and to share .
Currently living in Singapore, my English writing is not superb though trying my best to write correctly, I hope the language of the heart is easily understood by other hearts.
for me to learn from *****
There are 2 impulses stronger than desire, deeper than love of man or woman, and independent of it-the human hunger for truth and liberty. For these two, greater sacrifices are made than for any love of person; against them nothing can prevail, since love and life itself have proved themselves light in the balance; and the creature of man is ever ready to refute the matter of fact realist and his statistics by sacrificing all he has for some abstract idea of wisdom or freedom , unprofitable in every mercenary scale -Freya Stark-

When Sitting, he understands: 'I am sitting';
When lying down, he understands: 'I am Lying down; or he understands accordingly however his body is used. - The Buddha's book of daily meditation -

May the poor find wealth,
Those weak with sorrow find joy.
May the forlorn find new hope,
Constant happiness and prosperity.
May the frightened cease to be afraid,
And those bound free.
May the weak find power,
And may their hearts join in friendship.
- an open heart from Dalai Lama -
Love and Peace
Fun and Harmony
Respect and Equality

When you set out on your journey to Ithaca,
Pray that the road is long,
Full of adventure, full of knowledge.
The lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
The angry Poseidon , do not fear them:
You will never find such as these on your path
If your thoughts remain lofty, if a fine
Emotion touches your spirit and your body.
The lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
The fierce Poseidon you will never ecounter,
If you do not carry them within your soul,
If your heart does not set them up for you.
Pray that the road is long.
That summer mornings are many, when,
With such pleasure, with such joy
You will enter ports seen for the first time;
Stop at Phoenician markets,
And purchase fine merchadise,
Mother-of-pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
And sensual perfumes of all kinds,
As many sensual perfumes as you can ;
Visit many Egyptian cities,
To learn and learn from scholars.
