Suspense

Where do the tides take you?  Is there light in the future?  I find I'm agitated, disturbed, unsettled, suspicious of any signs.  The best thing is a clearcut farewell, they'll say.  The best thing is not to count on happiness brought by him, they'll say.  The best thing is to forget, forget, forget....

They say you'll be happier.

But how can I forsake all the feelings?  The only true feeling, the feeling I cherish so much.  Forsaking it is betraying myself.  Betraying myself is worse than non-existence.

So I'm suspended....

Sacred Void

There is a space created by lack when one leaves.  It is a void, a crevice that opens to abyss, but a space nevertheless.  This space is sacred and no one will touch it.  We walk around it gingerly and we'll avoid it as much as possible.  As long as we respect it and keep distance from its opening, we will stay away from pain.

Pillars

If the walls of the fortress crumble, the pillars stand; if one of the four pillars falls, three can still hold up the sky.  As long as we keep our pillars standing strong, the fortress is here.

Storm

Storm is inevitable.  Storm is approaching.  Thunder, lightening, howling wind and pouring rain.  Our tears and crying will be covered by the storm.  No one can see us.  No one can hear us.  Total destruction.

Boys and girls, stand strong.  The fortress has to be defended.  We'll light a candle, make a fire.  We'll huddle together.  We'll be strong.  We'll support each other.  We'll love and love and love...

Virtual Invasion

How do you keep dirt off your face? Online video chat, instant messaging, texting...they are invading your homes.  Your spouse is home, spending time with you and the kids, but s/he is chatting online with the other party, using webcam showing your cute puppy to him/her.  A slap in the face! Ultimate insult!

Betrayal

Are you betrayed by someone you love?  Your spouse? Your parent? Are you wondering how love and betrayal can coexist? If forgive, love big, endure, and hope are the ways to sustain my family, why do I still feel so weak all the times? How did Hera stand strong and powerful?

Politics of Love

I love.  I love big.  I love my family and I know you feel the same.

Please don't insult us by dragging in "prop 8," the Republican slogan of "family value," or any rhetoric that is really designed to promote religious doctrine.

I'm only talking about heart and conscience.  No politics, please!
