Eye Experiment Update
Filed Under Life Happenings | Leave a Comment
It has been another week and time for me to give an update on my [[eye experiment]]. Unfortunately, I am disappointed to report that I have not been able to keep up with it. In a hectic schedule, one hour per day on a regular basis is harder than I’d thought it would be.

I take this particular […]

The Battle You Can’t Win
For some reason, my mother has this unrelenting desire to stuff me with food. Growing up, there are always requests to “eat more”. When I leave home, there’ll always be packages of food stuffed away in my luggage somewhere. Whenever I receive a present, half the package is guaranteed to be […]

Eye Experiment Observations Part I
Filed Under Life Happenings | 1 Comment

7:56. A train pulls into the station in front of me, right on schedule. As I stepped through the door, I wondered, “How on earth do trains and buses arrive at their destination within +/- a few minutes of the indicated time?” It seems like a pretty unlikely event - there are just so […]

The Proposal
Filed Under Poetry | Leave a Comment
What is life
But our dreams?
Put together
We are whole
Two parts
Greater than their sum
Shall our dreams
Never be?
Unending possibilities
Never realized?
Nowhere else

Can turn into reality
Be with me
Try with me
Let our imaginations flourish
Let our dreams come true
A life so lived
We shall never regret
The passions of youth
A […]
