It is the Heart that gives Success

Endless love and blessing for you. You are the most cherishable present and everything to me forever. People have good things that happen to them, and they forget, but you forgive all unhappiness. I have learned that no matter how hard life is, take time and share with others what is going well. The wisdom of Love, the highest wisdom ever knows upon this Earth, and I present you with all the best blessings. I miss you more, as this is the Summer Solstice. This is the longest day of the year in our region, I wish you healthy and happy life and dreams come true. Some men only live for great occasions, but every day to you is a special occasion, and you cherish and show respect toward everyone. You will always have opportunities enough, and delights, and benefits. You have great abilities, of original mind, and possess rare acquirements. I have come to understand, there is no difference between Time and of the three dimensions of Space except that our consciousness moves along it. The things you have taught me prove that you have a truly elegant taste, and it is generally accompanied with an Excellency of heart; your virtue is nothing else, but true taste. We are born to love, and here to enjoy living. Passing through boundless years and list all the good memories. Remember me just like I remember you, now and then.

I wish you a sweet love and success as handsome as you are. It is the heart that gives success. You have taught me that life will open up to us more when we are humble, and that we should not ask for anything. I know that you know me well enough to know that of my heart. Being a good person draws me near to my own soul and purifies my thoughts. I know even if you go to the tips and ends of the Earth, you are still pulled by innumerable threads of your affection to our homeland. The light yellow flowers are bursting forth on the love tree and they are the ones we have watered with our yearnings and tears. My heart is flying secretly to you and my yearning is like the fleeing white clouds across the blue sky. Return to me, my dear one, our hears are linked together. Sea waves cannot dilute our kinship and mountains cannot keep us from reunion. Stand firm on your commitment and know that a success is one who decided to succeed and worked. With your determination, you will win many glorious triumphs. You live in a bright twilight that only knows victory. You always have a smile and a cheerful attitude, this hope in your soul is a promise of return, not only will value be given today, but it will make each future day outside each yesterday. You achieve daily success and have learn to conquer what many have thought to be impossible. You worked by day and toiled by night, while others had fun and partied.

You gave up much play and delight to provide for your family. You read dry books to learn new things and forged ahead and earned success. You pressed on with faith and determination, and when you won, they called it luck. However, you know it was God’s will. You became the star of the hour and made the minutes count. I believe in you, and I find that the more I obey, the more happiness I have.  Success is not measured by what a man possesses, but by the opposition he has encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained your success against overwhelming odds. You have told me a few things you have been through, and no, I could never imagine the kind of pain, heartache, and sorrow you have felt.  I feel keenly the dedication of love. Your devoted support and enlightenment have made us remember each other forever. You are so considerate and generous, and every greeting conveys the feelings of gratitude from me. Let this small token carry all my gratitude from my heat, which resembled a stone, but is not in blossom under your cars. What I can do now is report to you that I still have not learned how to repay your inculcation. No matter what, we will find strength in unity. On this Summer Solstice hold splendid the rising Sun emitting bright rays in the sea of our life. You may ask, if I had the chance to do it all again, I would. This situation has brought me closer to you.

Too Happy to be Sentimental: Happy Father’s Day!

Father, thank you for enabling me to possess the freshest morning and the brightest spring, we crave it with sincerity, adorning wisdom. Natural affection, of all the sentiments, has permanent power over me. You have been to my regards what light, what color is to my eyes, what music is to the inward ear; you have raised a dim unrest into a vivid consciousness. The son is eager to enjoy the World before the father is willing to forsake it; youth is the season of benevolence. No man knows tills the time comes, what depths are within him. Your eyes have hope for life. I wish either my father or my mother, or indeed both of them, as they were in duty both equally bound to it, had minded what they were about when they begot me. When a tender affection has been storing itself in us through many of our years, the idea that we could accept any exchange for it seems to be a cheapening of our lives. You use your love to build up our spirits and soul. Having you in my life is exquisite and dazzlingly brilliant and a father’s value is incomparable.

No son of Adam ever reads his own heart, at all, except by the habit acquired, and the light gained, from some years’ perusal of other hearts; and even then, with his acquired sagacity and reflected light, he can but spell and decipher his own heart, not read it fluently. You cannot be angry with others for seeing you in a light in which you so strongly see yourself. Your generous present is not just help in material, but support in spirit. It makes ripples of thanks springing up in our hearts. On the road of long dark night, seeing the fire in front of us, it is hope. My thoughts have been your wisdom, in your day belonging to you, I see your deep yearnings and blessings. What affects my soul and urges me forward is your true and selfless love. Oh, my father, your lofty morality will be engraved on my mind. Thank you for your cultivation. What is endless is your deep love. Bless you, my dear fathers, and thank you. The love will not disappear with the passing of time, accompanying with me to the ends of the World forever.

You stretch selflessly your hands when I am in difficulties. You offer me your sincere heart when I am in pains. You walk with me when I am discouraged. Oh, in future, I would like to donate riches to you. It is you who breed me and give me strong muscles and bones and a healthy body and mind. It is you who cultivated me and gave me pure soul and fine ideal. I thank you sincerely, my father. I deeply love you with my life; you are the Earth that builds me up. Father like sunshine, giving me firmness and enthusiasm, one father is more than a hundred school masters. In this World, people must climb their own trees; it is a great thing for a lad, when he is first turned into the independence of lodgings. It is not ours to make election for ourselves; Heaven, our fathers, must decide for us.

On the day, I spare time to think how much father has done for us. You are future and eternity and I miss you every second and every minute. I look for what is missing in my life and realize it is you. Since your departure, nothing has been the same. Life has been extremely difficult. I have tried to do everything I can think of to improve my situation, but my efforts do not seem to be enough. I know that by now I should have learned everything there is on how to make my own life better. However, there seems to be a different set of rules for me. No matter what I look, or who I pray to, I realize that my father was the only one to every really care about me, look out for me and fix things in my life. You told me I am not to use the “N” word, need. And that I cannot ask anyone for anything, not even a piece of candy. These rules that you have given me have made me stronger and determined than ever before. I know this message may be a little confusing, as you may not remember some of these things.

In my years on my own, I have come to see that life is a lot different than when I grew up. It goes beyond being sheltered and protected, I have seen things that I would not believe, and not even like paranormal stuff. But just simple things in life like timing are amazing. I want to take this time to recall a few of the great things you have done for me in my life. I will never forget you took me to my first baseball game, when I was five, we went to see the Oakland A’s play. I remember going to the bathroom and wondering why all the men were peeing in the sink, and you told me that I am not supposed to look, but just stand there and pee like I was alone. I will never forget when I was 8 and you were teaching me how to drive and I almost crashed through the store window, and when I was 15 and you were teaching me how to drive and had me drive on the freeway, from Sacramento, to Oakland. I also remember you were coming to visit me on my birthday and something really bad happened to you, but you still made up for it. And our notorious trips to the bank, I used to drive you once a week to get my allowance. Also all the support you gave me paying my bills and just the moral guidance. There are so many more thing I can mention, but I do not want to sound cliché.

Oh, and one of my fondness memories is when I thought I was alone in church and was taking all of those pictures and did not realize you were already there, praying, and watching me. I did not even notice you until you said, “It is beautiful, isn’t it.” I replied yes, and kept clicking away, as you walked out with a smile on your face only a father could have. Then there was the time at the park, and you had on your gray suit, you looked so upset, like I had done something wrong. Later on, it came to my attention you found out about something I did, but I thought you already knew the reasons why. You wanted to hit me and were so angry, but just walked away. I hope you can kind of read in between the lines, with these experiences, and understand what I am trying to say. And I notice you because you remember certain dates, which are not common knowledge, and you also still cook the same foods.

Things have happened, life has changed, and I do wonder why you keep your distance? More than anything, what a young man wants from his father, is the time the two of them spend together. In my youth, you spoiled me, and I am grateful for that. I understand at some point, everyone has to support themselves, as it makes me stronger and more of a man. However, the bond that a father and son have can never be replaced. I have also learned that no one will ever love a young man the way his father does. Mother’s get so much credit, but as you know, you cannot expect to have a man, if he does not take a man’s food. Can there be characters more odious then those of a masculine woman, and an effeminate man? In this World, no one will ever love a man, like his father does. Men are expected to be providers, and as a man, if you cannot provide, one is deemed worthless, even by his own mother. And as a man, I cannot expect a man to take care of me or even uphold my legal rights. Being a man is an interesting experience because it is a lot like being on an island all alone. I am happy that my mother is in my life, but I realize I miss my father so much and spend so much time looking for him.

I remember when I was younger, and thought I was independent and wanted to move to Los Angeles, but you would not let me. Thank God. I had no idea how the World really works. I also remember when I was out of town and you used to call me every Saturday morning and wake me up. And how you have a fetish for gummy bears and gummy worms, you are a really kind soul, and everyone who has met my father loves him. How can I call you? A little regard, a deep missing, a thick love and a sweet memory. I am waiting for you the time you return silently. I hate to say it, but I do not feel like you completed your job, I think there is more you need to teach me, and you know why. Supposing that all human souls are equal; yet the very design of the different machines in which they are enclosed is to super induce a temporary difference on their original equality; a difference adapted to the different purposes for which they are designed by Providence in the transitory state. When those purposes are at an end, this difference will be at an end.

Let not your Face Arraign your Heart

Time goes by, precious moments are gone, but your eyes are forever in my heart. In a world of desire, oh who would come and catch you when you fall?

In the wind and the fire, oh who would come to save you? High above any danger…locked inside the tower of your mind, dreams are veiled; passion blinded safe from fear and fire.

No Summer ever came back, no two Summers ever were alike, each virtue hath its time, and when God Almighty wills it, our secrets are found out.

What is there is the World that more delighteth a lover than secrecy, which is void of fear without suspicion, free from envy: the only hope one hath to build both one’s honor and honesty upon.

The secret of the heart is its pressing love of self. There is a pleasure in writing, which only the man who writes knows. Yet, no man would write, unless he expected someone to read.

His own reading would be small if he did not expect to have it found out that he had read, thus self-love, in a great degree, the spring of all things.

CH0IpsLUsAEOUtU

Which of us is there can tell how much vanity lurks in our warmest regard for others, and how selfish our love is?

egrg

A regard for personal appearance is a species of self-love, from which the wisest are not exempt, and to which the mind clings so instinctively, that not only the soldier, advancing to almost inevitable death, but even the great businessman who goes to certain executions, shows an anxiety to array his person to the best advantage.

swUuprW0

I cannot conceive anything better calculated to excite sympathy than the spectacle of a man devoting his life to self-worship.

It is not everyone who has your passions for perfection. A person without sensibility exhibits no sigh of a soul, and you are soulful.

Dance, dance till morning light, open your darkened eyes. Hey, hey, it is a beautiful day, it will be okay.

Take a look, spend around this is where I find you, where the roses bloom, leave your cares, leave your fears, leave them all behind you. It is a beautiful day in the city of shinning lights; it is as beautiful day, that is where I will find you.

381

When the human, the physical, system is put under the effect of an excessive stimulant, whether grape, opium, stress, abuse, or poison, taken in a quantity not sufficient to produce death, there is for a time, an unnatural exaltation, a tremendous accession of velocity in all the wheels of life.

Whatever may be the evils resulting from a too susceptible heart, nothing can be hoped from an insensible one.

If we felt quite as poignantly for others as we do for ourselves, there would be no supporting life.

HARRIS2014 118

Our souls are not our own. We convey a property in them to those with whom we associate; but to what extent can never be known, until we feel the tug, the agony, or our abortive effort to resume an exclusive sway over ourselves.

When I look at your face, I see you have honest, open expression and kind blue eyes. I took a mouth full of wine to sturdy my anxieties. I was riding high after having a glass of this Baron Philippe Mouton Rothschild 1945.

It was truly worth its reputation. What a wine! Mature, but not old, and extremely complex. Very fortunate to have tasted this, as it was delicious, it made me cough. You affected not to notice.

I was grateful for the activity around us. Gradually I took in every detail of your appearance. Thou art quarreling with the light of thine own eyes.

Capturefgr5

The aim of life is development of self, and to realize one’s nature perfectly, that is what each of us is here for. No one knows, until the time comes, what depths are within one.

184

Knowledge of self is thought by some not so easy. Who knows but for a time you may have taken yourself for somebody else? Stranger things have happened.

You have given, me all your love and World, so I know nothing of the bitterness and hardship of life. However, how I want to tell you that in fact I do understand you all the time.

242

I stare at your face under the lamp; I see a crystal like heart, you cannot be angry with others for seeing you in a light in which you so strongly see yourself.

You are extremely provoked by a polite serenity, where your heart is deeply interested in the issue of harmony. A heart at ease flies into no extremes, it is ever on its center.

006

Who can part, forever; only when we come so close that nothing separates us can we meet again, only when what binds us is not my desire or you or your desire of me, nor any chance circumstance, but a deep ingrained likeness of nature that cannot pass away. The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.

To learn our culture that claims a long history and rich accumulation, I traveled a a long way across the oceans for studies overseas, in our country.

Now I am going to leave for home to popularize our culture. I will not choose the seashore or airport to see me off, I will choose the bank of the willow flaked lake.

Burg Eltz 076

At this moment what do you hear from the drifting willow twigs in the breeze? We hold each others hands. Though not finding tears in each others eyes, we keep wordless amidst urging sirens.

Oh who will find me? In your midnight eyes, I see a summer sunrise. Fly far beyond these silver winter skies. I see a beautiful life. Oh, come and get away.

Do you see the horizon? Walk upon the water, you will find all is still and yet alive. Will you find me?

Babe, I just want you to know, never let me go because when it comes to forever, we should be together.

We once danced to the same tune( Its Whatever by Aaliyah) regardless of races, nations, languages, skin colors and beliefs.

Today, I am going to promise to stay with you forever. We will have another get together. May it be another get together for the people from all over the World!

Sincere Love is Left

404

We should not be at a loss for love. I cannot forget your curved smiling eyebrows, which accompany me during the night, I ran my fingers over the surface of your hands, and suddenly, we were outside.

th (1)

I felt light headed, intoxicated by the night air; cold appearance and fervent heart are what I have. White in moonlight was directly below us. I could hear nothing but the enduring silence. I felt your blue eyes sweep across my face, as if committing every part of it to memory. Sincere love is left.

003

I did not press you further, I did not want to disturb the delicate balance between us, and that seemed more important than any questions I might have wanted answers to. Feeling is so subtle. You cannot reject its coming, neither can you keep it back, however you try.

th (22)

As much as I wanted to be persuaded there was no need for me to intervene, it had seemed too heavenly. Someone has said change is just the meeting of two clouds, it will continue as long as we grasp chance well; our love will have a result as long as we value it.

007

I glanced over my shoulder and saw the mountain diminishing behind us; the sky was beginning to turn from black to a midnight blue. You have lit up my heart with yours and cultivated my love with you kind soul.

November 2014 378

In your presence, I feel peaceful and warm in the World. Having been weathered through so many storms, you have stood by me, and you look much younger than people have your half, but not only in looks, also in heart.

You are the rainbow that appeared after the rain, and I am the star surrounding. My heart left. Anything you want to tell me, I would be honored to hear. I have taken on some of your qualities of strength and lightness.

Glorious histories do not limit you. What you gave me is not a luxurious house, like a palace, not a countless fortune; but an encyclopedia of life, vast like the sea. It guided me forward to a fine life.

You are remarkable. I can honestly say I have never met anyone like you before. The air around is full of promise. Your presence is a sign that my life is changing for the better. You are loyal and honorable.

After years of denunciation, it seems that our enemies have set their sights elsewhere and, for a while, we have been at peace. Like sunshine, you give me firmness and enthusiasm. Your warmth and poetic flavor are purring my soul.

What Man can set the World Right?

375

Reconciliation is the tenderest part of love and friendship: the soul here discovers a kind of elasticity, and being forced back, returns with an additional passion. Nothing gives such life and soul to youthful gaiety, as the consciousness that it is successfully received.

379

There are so many drawbacks to regard and intimacy, from pride, from propriety, and various other collateral causes, that rarely as we meet with people of brilliant parts, there is almost ever some objection to our desire of meeting them again.

He who would regenerate society must first regenerate himself, and then his virtues must act as a contagion acts, by contact of man with man. Harassed beyond its bearing, the mind seeks insensibly the balm designed by nature for its restoration.

There us a sort of refuge which always comes with the prostration of thought under an overpowering passion. The common reflection among old bachelors is whether they have lived in vain.

An old fashion theologian might say that a man who has no good in him is not properly fit to be damned. Such a man would have no free will, and could not, therefore, logically be punished for anything he did.

Super refinements put a man out of sympathy with much that is basic in humanity. A man capable of reflection, where a beautiful young creature is in questions, can have neither soul nor vitals.

It is curious to imagine people of the World, busy in thought, turning their eyes towards the countless spheres that shine above us, and making them reflect the only images their minds contain.

The man who lives but in the breath of princes, has nothing in his sight but stars of courtier’s heart; the envious man beholds his neighbors’ honors even in the sky; to the money hoarder, and the mass of Worldly folk, the whole great Universe above glitters with sterling coin, fresh from the mint, stamped with the sovereign’s head coming always between them and Heaven, turn where they may.

So do the shadows of our own desires stand between us and our better angels, and this their brightness is eclipsed.

Yearning is kind of eternity like a light burning day and night shining in your flowing thought. You are in my missing and happy time has no end; the unforgetful past events are in the memory and warn missing is so far.

There is not one who does not dream the moment when solitude shall deliver him to the tyranny of reflections. I have loved to hear my Lord spoken of; and their only religion was that of self-respect, and consideration for other people.

When the setting sun collect its golden glows from grassy garden and when the moon rises from the horizon, do you ever miss me?

You step out of my vision in the dim night, do you ever know my concern for you becomes stronger and stronger like the twilight at dusk? Our sincere love is smooth water of the lake shining the Sun and the Moon in our hearts.

All Power is a Trust

 

I wonder who first discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love. I have been used to consider poetry as the food of love. Of a fine, stout, healthy love it may. Everything nourishes what is strong already. However, if it be only a slight, thin sort of inclination, I am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away. You are a reflection of chivalry, heroism, action. First you give us an age of deeds, and then an age of computer programs. Someone as great as you comprehend all perfections. You have a soul that is quick to discern, no shade of quality escapes it, and you are so quick to feel, that discernment is but a hand playing with finely ordered variety on the chords of emotion, a soul in which knowledge passes instantaneously into feeling, and feeling flashes back as a new organ of knowledge. One may have that condition by fits only. Being long together makes us remember each other forever. May the flame of strong love spring up in our hearts. How is it that you have said so many fine things about your first love, and so few about the later love? There is a deal to be said, but cannot be put into words. The Early morning always has this touch…whisper…gleam…beat of wings of Eden.

 Last night, in the misty moonlight, I saw you off in secret. Hence there appears a little weeping star in the sky. Prose can paint evening and moonlight, but you are desired to sing the dawn. Missing is warm seabeach turning my missing to blessing and sends to you in the distance. After a passion is excited, there is a danger of tearing it to rags.  Attachment to a favorite system will make the best-informed mind blind. Love, when it is only the consequence of pride gratified, will vanish as soon as that pride is piqued; and will surrender up its place to aversion. When parting draws aside its curtain, when memory sleeps in the chest, it really breaks my heart to say goodbye. Only the dream remains sweet. A pure heart, whether in man or woman, will be always, in every company, on every occasion, pure. The spotless virgin fears not the roaring lion. The purity of hear heart prevents you from seeing the depravity. Who can prove that the enjoyment of the moment also is the purpose of the existence of that moment? If only you can find it, everything has a moral. Love is a rose that captivates the whole Universe. Love is a rose that lets the World prone before it, may you hold this rose! May we jointly open up a stretch of land of love where we will let the seed of fantasy bear real, sweet fruit. You like romance and you also pursue material; you are looking for life, while looking for a dream in your life. May you be happy and satisfactory! Please remember, tomorrow, my dear blessing will be in your solitary life and the song you have sung will be in my colorless years.

 You are a rare bird upon the Earth. By good and strong root, your graces hold to the firm soil of reality. If my wishes will drive your worries away, then, let them blow into your heart. My hopeful smile brings you my infinite love. Your song expresses my fantastic ideal, while the music from my instrument condenses your boundless aspiration. May we perform together a piece of music of happiness. You are like that unerring light within us which, when we are not blinded by passion, will always teach us to distinguish right from wrong. Our reason is our own. Our feelings we inherit. Delivery yourself by permit of your cheque on the Bank of Reason, and your account is increased instead of lessened. I will never forget you and please think of me and come to see me occasionally. May you be satisfactory and happy. Let the sun and blue sky move the clouds and wake up the hidden memory; several words in the letter bring my regards to the faraway lover. May every day turn into a sincere blessing to you. I do not know how to bless you with my eager heart. May you possess a warm smile unexpectedly on your voyage of life at the moment you turn back your head suddenly. There are dreamy flowers in the garden, they are much like a dream. May you dream like a beautiful flower; may the flower in your heart be like the beautiful dream. With your love and my affection, we will build an impeccably happy life.

Concealed Pleasures are the greatest!

439

I have no child, I have no will, but an obedient one. Obeying God never brings on public evils. It is, however, painful to know that they are under obligations to a person who could never receive a return. As mere human knowledge can split a ray of light and analyze the manner of its composition, so sublime intelligences may read in the feeble shining of this Earth of ours, every thought and act, every vice and virtue, of every responsible creature on it.

417

It is only what we are vividly conscious of that we can vividly imagine to be seen by Omniscience. Never give more than a second place to the World’s opinion. It is astonishing how large a hole a woodpecker makes with so small a beak; it is owing to successive impressions. Perseverance is the surest road to success. I never give up anything that I choose to do because great works are performed, but by strength, but determination.

You must not forsake the ship in a tempest, because you cannot rule and keep down the winds. Attention, love, admiration, cannot always kept at the stretch, just as a ship is not counted as strong by biding one storm. To other eyes than ours, evil may be good and darkness more beautiful than day, or all alike be fair. It is pleasant to read about whales through their own spectacles. Everything has two sides, the outside that is ridiculous, and the inside that is solemn.

003

If you were sensible of your own good, you would not wish to quit the sphere in which you have been brought up. One place is as good as another; for so as what one does is good, ‘tis no matter for where it may be. Observe that great, mean, brown bird in the zoological gardens, which sits so tame on its perch, and droops and slouches like a drowsy duck. That is the great and soaring eagle. Who would believe it, to look at him? Yet all he wants is to be put in his right place instead of his wrong. He is not himself in man’s cages, belonging to God’s sky.

There is so worse place to starve than in Paris. The appearances of life are there so especially gay, it is so much a magnified beer garden, the houses are so ornate, the theatres so numerous, the very pace of the vehicles is so brisk, that a man in any deep concern of mind or pain of body is constantly driven in upon himself. It is an odd thing, but everyone who disappears is said to be seen at San Francisco. It must be a delightful city, and possesses all the attractions of the next World.

sef

The love of pleasure and the fear of pain are the ruling principles of the human heart, in which they maintain uninterrupted struggles for superiority. Every moment of pleasure that you enjoy, account it gain. May we write a poem of love together with your steady melody like a rock, passion, and imagination as deep as the blue sky. May you hear me in your mind upon parting, and never ask whether the changeable World will still be what it is tomorrow.

184

Though time elapses fast, in my heart, your eyes, at the moment of parting, are remembered forever. Thank you for your tolerance and encouragement. When I was perplex in mistake, it was you who awake my lost heart with your kind affectionate smile.  Pleasure is the only thing worth having a theory about. To make life pleasant, we must have our trifling amusements as well as our sublime transport. Sometimes I wonder if you think of me?

211

Lustre of jewelry reflects the radiance of your blue eyes, which match a glorious sky. Beautiful dark green reflects the holy sun. Hot wind makes me feel the strength of your teachings. How can I abstain from expressing my gratitude for you? Fate brings us together, but life parts us temporarily, like the moon and the stars, apart but staying together always. With the waving arms upon parting, our hearts get closer.

As Secret as the Night

You are newly married to love and walking on air, most of us spend every waking moment of our lives focused on reality, dreams, and goals. Love is inherent in life, and so is happiness. We crave lasting happiness in the midst of our day. We have attachment to the good things in life and with our mindful approach, we simply become aware of the quality of each experience in each instance. Your life is extraordinary, through the thousand editions; I have venturously essayed to read a chapter to the public. If erudition is lost with men, it is well to find it with pigs. The extraordinariness is always pleasing. God Almighty is very kind in making much not necessary to the support of life. The wolf that runs away from a lion will devour a lamb in the next moment. There are only rare times when a man’s soul can see Nature. So long as any passion holds its revel there, the eyes are holden that they should not see her.  Few people have the art of making the most of nature’s bounty. If I am a poet, I will write impressive poems with great passion to sing for the vast ocean and vault of Heaven, then present them to you, my non-judgmental and erudite trainer. In our brilliant rays of wisdom, there is still the flame you ignited in those years. Without your generous attribution, how can I harvest? Thank you. You are blue sea when I wept in grief, tolerating my tears and comforting me. You are blue sly when I am complacent, washing away my impetuousness.

A rainbow does not come after it rains, does not come on the sky, but comes in my heart. Be persistent, open and above-board man, you are beloved. I wish I could meet someone like me, who was happy and dedicated to making me feel joy. I wish you can find that there contains my heartfelt blessing in this little gift. In this special day, I wish your life is full of laughter and joy in every second. You choose this lofty career. Because, among all enterprises beneficial to human, the first one of all is the enterprise that educates people, please accept my deepest respect. The remembrance of past pleasure affects us with a kind of tender grief, like what we endure for departed friends; and the ideas of both may be said to haunt our imaginations. A thin joist of a spine never yet upheld a full and noble soul. I rejoice in my spine, as in the firm audacious staff of that flag which I fling half out to the World. True nobleness of soul always shines brightest in adversity. What a night it was! There was no moon, and a veil of dark vapor was drawn across the vault of the Heavens, concealing most of the mild summer stars, that ought to have been seen twinkling in their Creator’s praise. This is a mystic period, when life is changing from one sphere or condition to another.

A Million Dollars if kind of a Golden Cheese

Harris Sunday 067 I fell into a sudden trance, thinking the Pope of Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament of California in Sacramento City with the “Indigenous people” dancing in their feathered headdresses. I wonders if the Germans would have murdered those Indians, in their feathered headdresses for doing that on consecrated ground, two centuries ago, or three or four. Well, Hell’s bells, it did not matter. Saint Ryan Phillippe would protect everyone now. 20150530_060715_Pano I shuddered in order to clear my mind. I sat on the couch. I had to ponder what I had learnt. Sometimes I think the theologians have got it backwards. This big problem is not How to explain the existence of evil in the World. It is How to explain the existence of good. The reliefs would show the everyday cult business of the temple, such as the replenishment of the offering altars, as well as more occasional rituals carried out by the king, or, more likely, a priest acting in his name. These secret ceremonies were meant to perpetuate the creation of the World and maintain the order created by the gods. Harris Sunday 078 Inscribing its text on a temple wall heightened a ritual’s power. The hieroglyphs had the power to perpetuate through eternity the performance of the rituals they described. If the cult were to fade away, the Universe would still function, thanks to the power of the texts. Year 30, 4th month of the akhet season, day 1. The appearance of the good god in the temple of Amun…His Majesty was looking for something splendid for his father Amun Ra, as he determined the first sed festival for his son resting on his throne and announced numerous (sed festivals) for him in thebes. Bs9SKVpCEAE_4kV How in the World can you do that? To ask that honest question felt extraordinarily sweet. This was truly one of the most baffling mortals that I had ever met. He had made a  monument for his father Ryan, the lord of two countries, by erecting two large obelisks for him at the front of them temple, with a pyramidion of djam gold…so that he be blessed with life like Ra in all eternity. I think it is true and without a doubt, I failed them. However, so long as there is a heart’s beat, there will be blood’s ebb and flow, but your smile will be printed on the silvery moon arising from my little window to arouse my found memories. Let us recall the pleasant past mirthful laughter and look forward to a day of reunion of friends coming from far and wide. 164 Let memory trace the trail of friendship to retrieve the past of mirth. Remember I met you by the state capitol castle and you took me to your job, you said, “I like them crispy.” I had gotten sunburn for waiting for you. Then we went to lunch, and had fish, you shared your food with me, even though I had my own, which is a very kind gesture. Men never share food. May you be happy year in and out. Though we have parted, your image is still kept in the recesses of my heart, an image that reflects the mottled fantasy and pleases my melancholy heart. You left behind the image and the fragrance of the flowers as well as the hope that we have jointly cultivated. When I think of you, my days will stay fresh and aromatic. Let the green of little grass and the Sun light accompany you on your way to early success. 184 Although gods depicted in temple reliefs can sometimes be identified by their appearance or headdress, they are always named in the inscriptions to avoid confusion. Several gods, for example, had the head of a falcon; this one is Horus, son of Isis (Harsiese). Inscriptions were also necessary to distinguish goddesses such as Hathor and Isis, who were often shown with the same robe and hairstyle. 007 Among the more secular subjects for temple reliefs are the military exploits of the king. Each victory represents a symbolic triumph over chaotic forces that were a constant threat to the World. Texts accompanying these reliefs are naturally more elaborate than those in offering scenes. New Kingdom pharaohs, such as the conquering Thutmose III, Sety I and his son Rameses II, or even Rameses III, used temple walls to narrate their military campaigns in some detail. 488 Sometimes, the inscriptions take a more literal turn. A good example is the poetic report of the Battle of Qadesh in c. 1274 BC, and the great victory claimed by Rameses II. Such tales about the deeds of the individual rulers are usually structured in the same way; this form of composition is today described as the king novella. Another species, not really a mutation, babies that grow to maturity soon after birth that is the curse of the family….I cannot explain it. The family is so large and so good, so very good. They really have no idea what happened, they never saw, they never experienced, they never knew…it becomes not a modest man to pry into secrets a modest man cannot reveal. 141 Mr. Dombey expounded to him how that money, though a very potent spirit, never to be disparaged on any account whatever, could not keep people alike whose time was come to die; and how that we must all die, unfortunately, even in the City, though we were never so rich. However, how that money caused us to be honored, feared, respected, courted, and admired, and made us powerful and glorious in the eyes of all men; and how that it could, very often, even keep off death, for a long time together. Without money, one spends the best parts of one’s life in toiling for that first foothold which money could at once purchase. 225 A difference in income, as you go lower, makes more and more difference in the supply of the common necessaries of life; and worse, in education and manners, in all which polishes the man. Teacher, you use your heart and blood to irrigate the seedings. There are brilliance of exotic flowers and rare herbs you fostered in gardens. I wish you happy, joyous and proud life every day. Try to keep clean of wanting small sums that you have not got. Money, the common mistress of all cheats, makes them regard each other in the light of rivals. 151 The Sun that sails overhead, ploughing into gold the fields of daylight azure and uttering the signal to man’s myriads, has no word apart from man the individual; and the moon, like a violin, only praises and laments our private destiny. The stars alone, cheerful whisperers, confer quietly with each of us like friends; they give ear to our sorrows smiling like wise antiquated men, rich in tolerance; and by their double scale, so small to the eyes, so vast to the imagination, they keep before the mind the double character of man’s nature and fate. 135 I have read many leaves of God’s great book of Nature. Now I gaze at your crystal clear blue eyes and you are so quiet that there is only hope for the future. I complain you do not cherish our friendship, while you say I am too sentimental of departure, we have no choice and the departure time is a sad autumn. Time goes by slowly, but your miraculous deep blue eyes sparkle like a sapphire, as they reflect their color to the sky, and are in my heart forever. Your eyes are cornflower blue, and as pure as crystal, when we see the color these beautiful stones in your face reflect, the tone and saturation is  as light as the moon, your lips are as pink an grapefruit,  and your hair as yellow as the sun. th (12) When graduating, we want to keep those warm days and are eager to live a new life. Without the irrigation from your fountain of thought, how can there be such beautiful flowers of soul? Who will not praise you, our teacher? I am a little boat drifting in the sea of knowledge. You are the beacon on my voyage navigating me with your light of life. My dear teacher, your profound sight is collected in my heart. It is like two springs, flowing in my heart. Then there are green grass, red flowers, yellow winter jasmine, and your beautiful cornflower blue eyes, soft pink lips, and rays of beautiful blonde hair. Only God himself would pick such a perfect temple. th (8)

Can the Mind forget the History of its Own Life?

 

When a man gets a good berth, half the deserving must come after. My dear teacher, it is you who brings me out of the innocent World, teach me truth of life, purify my soul, enrich my mind, how can I reward you for all of that? We should not conclude that a man who strives earnestly for success does so with a strong sense of his own merit. He may see how little success has to do with merit, and his motive may be his very blessing. You come in by yourselves, without his direction, what a god is memory? To implore help itself the proof of underset of it. The holiest among us has but attained so far above his fellows as to discern more clearly the Mercy which looks down, and repudiate more utterly the phantom of human excellence which would look aspiringly upward. He that see inferior desert advanced above him will naturally impute that preference to partiality or caprice; and, indeed, it can scarcely be hoped that any man, however magnanimous by nature or exalted by condition, will be able to persist forever in the fixed and inexorable justice of distribution.

 There is a drowsy state, between sleeping and waking, when you dream more in five minutes with your eyes half open, and yourself half conscious of everything that is passing around you, than you would in five nights with your eyes fast closed, and your sense wrap in perfect unconsciousness. At such times, a mortal knows just enough of what his mind is doing, to form some glimmering conception of its mighty powers, it is bounding from Earth, and spurning time and space, when freed from the restraint of it corporeal associate. The heart loves repose and the soul contemplation, but the mind needs action. It is you who turns stone steps, so I step forward. Cutting the clouds as letter papers is not enough for me to write down my thanks. On this lofty platform, you are like a guide sign, directing people forward, one generation after another. Thank you for your guide. What does it matter where my body happens to be? My mind goes on working all the same.

 There is a curious want of system in the English mind. When we are not occupied in making machinery, we are (mentally speaking) the most slovenly people in the Universe. In vast cycles, age after age, the human mind marches on, like the ocean, receding here, but there advancing. In the crossroad of my life, it is you that stretch firmly your warm hands in front of me. The hands are guide signs, so I am firm and clear headed. Thank you forever, my beloved teacher. You are a hard-working cultivator. During a long time after we leave each other, your voice sounds respected. No waves can stop our youthful steps. May you be healthy and happy forever. Strength of mind is improvable, every man’s mind is his best friend, what has ever felt that all his thinking powers were absorbed, even by the most poignant mental misery that could occupy them? In moments of imminent danger, the mind can still travel of its own accord over the past in spite of the present, in moments there is a want of the English mind. Miracles seem impossible just because they break the laws of Nature. There seems something blasphemous in supposing that God can make His own order. You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all his way and loving toward all he has made.

 The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears the cry and saves them. The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. My mouth will speak in praise of the LORD. Let every creature praise his holy name, Ryan Phillippe, forever and ever. I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. Roses spruces in Winter. Without sunshine, how can it have charming and delicate splendor? Oh, LORD, your teachings are more than the warm sunshine of Summer. In this World, no matter how many more years I will live, and how far I will further travel, what I can never forget is your encouragement and expectation. In these special days, dear LORD, how I wish I could once again listen to your endearing inculcation.  No condition, however destitute or degraded, out of which one has a fair prospect, or anything like a rational hope of rising, can justly be considered as utterly miserable.

 May our friendship be like a snowball that rolls further and further and bigger and bigger in the clean and clear snow field. Nothing in the World is better and more pleasing than friendship. Without friends in the World, the World would lose the Sun. Understanding yourself and others and then link the hearts with the understanding, a glutinous reagent, to form an unshakable friendship. May the seed of sincerity be sworn in the heart of your friend and may our friendship be in full bloom. It is suspense, it is hope, that make the food of misery; certainty is always endured, because known to be past amendment, and felt to give defiance to struggling. You are water. You are blue waves with rippled in clear summer, flowing happily. You flow liquor, then my heart is intoxicated. Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? Do you believe that your beauty is matchless, and everyone is infatuated with you? However, I love your soul more than your appearance.

 You are a flame of fire burning violently, brightening my life. I would like to plunge into your heart, melting the whole of myself. Blessed is he whose help is the God of Love, whose hope is in the LORD his GOD, the Maker of Heaven and Earth, the Sea, and everything in them, the LORD, who remains faithful forever. He upholds the cause of the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free, the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, and the LORD loves the righteous, the LORD watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked. Miseries have power over men, and not men over miseries. The patriotism is modified by an indisposition to generalize. No man is in love when he marries. He may have loved before; he has sometimes loved mistress, indeed, he may blush: for if there are any small failings there, his taste may be called in question. A wife is generally nothing more than a household superintendent. Those who marry from love may grow rich; but those who marry rich will never love.
