A menagerie of scribbled thoughts, memories, and favorite things
The slow overture of rain,
each drop breaking
without breaking into
the next, describes
the unrelenting, syncopated
mind. Not unlike
the hummingbirds
imagining their wings
to be their heart, and swallows
believing the horizon
to be a line they lift
and drop. What is it
they cast for? The poplars,
advancing or retreating,
lose their stature
equally, and yet stand firm,
making arrangements
in order to become
imaginary. The city
draws the mind in streets,
and streets compel it
from their intersections
where a little
belongs to no one. It is
what is driven through
all stationary portions
of the world, gravity's
stake in things, the leaves,
pressed against the dank
window of November
soil, remain unwelcome
till transformed, parts
of a puzzle unsolvable
till the edges give a bit
and soften. See how
then the picture becomes clear,
the mind entering the ground
more easily in pieces,
and all the richer for it.

hi,unfortunately for me it didn't.
hehhe, well maybe because i was not really on my best discipline...hehhe:)
But you're so slim!
it sounds simple, but it also takes discipline. especially if you're a binge eater at night. like me.
The one-rice-per-day thing is the toughest to adhere to. And, yeah, the yogurt. I got sick of eating it after a week! The good thing, though, about starting on a diet, is that even if you don't get to abide by it to a T, you begun to eat smaller and smaller servings as you go along. Until, you know, you eventually lose weight. =)
And, yeah, binge-eating once in a day is good. I mean, what harm will one big meal do?
=)
