Let Go

Round and round, a spinning whirlwind in my head.

I ask myself time and time again, why do I torment myself?

I am only human, with emotions and bare bones.

Why do I trap myself in a cage?

I must learn to let go of people, places and things that no longer bring me blissful happiness.

It seems it is all within my listless mind.

I am just a vessel that embodies an undying soul that yearns for more meaning on this earth.

I am only human with unlimited wants and desires, but I must let go before it consumes my soul.

“Let go” is my daily incantation to survive this chaotic world.

Embracing Multicultural Narratives for Healing

My Story.

My multicultural backgrounds have shaped me who I am today. The purpose of this blog is to share and inspire people to appreciate what nature has to offer and stories that could heal your soul.

I Live

The morning sunshine grace me with rays of light.

It warms my body, heart and soul.

I live each day with gratitude, to feel that I am still alive inside.

Sometimes death want to seek me out, but I put on my warrior armour to battle each fight.

The starry night skies grace me with billions of sparkling stars and planets.

It gives me hope that in darkness, there is also light to accompany me.

I live each night with gratitude, knowing that I survived another day.

I live to seek inner peace and happiness on this earth until my final day comes.

He Said, She Said (Religion)

Scenario #1:

There was once a very dedicated sheep herder that loved his sheep. His sheep was like family to him. Every day, he leads them to green wild pasture to graze on. Until one day, the land on one side of the river became dry and barren with no green vegetation. He decided to herd them over to the other side, but convincing his sheep would be a challenge. He had faith in God, but God is in Heaven and won’t answer his prayer immediately.

Shepard: “My fellow brothers and sisters; do you see the green pasture on the other side of the river? That is Heaven! Do you want to go to Heaven?”

Sheep: “Yes, we want to go! Tell us how!”

Shepard: “Well, you must cross the river, die and be reborn again! Your soul will then be lifted up to Heaven and then you will meet God. Please say, “Baaabaaa” if you agree.”

Moral lesson: Depends how religious you are, faith is the key.

A Million Stars

Another lonely night, as I gazed upon the dark clear night…

I see you among a million stars.

Wishing you are here, embracing me with your warm body.

Whispering gently to my ears of how much you love me and staying by my side.

One body, mind, heart and soul…we shall be a million stars among the night sky.

Miles apart, but still, we share the same night sky.
