A Lesson from Tiramisu

I want you to just enjoy your tiramisu today, without criticizing it and focusing on how it could be better.

Why?

Because someday it will be gone, and as imperfect as it was you'll wish it was there.

The Way I Say Goodbye

Goodbye portraits.

It is taking one last turn around the room,

Appreciating every detail in full one last time,

Before I say goodbye.

And to put on paper for the world to see how much I once cared. So that even when that attention to every detail of you leaves my mind someday, it still exists somewhere out there.

You might find it doesn't quite look like you. Or that some elements are too abstract.

But it is also my hope that someday long after I've gone from your life, maybe you can see that picture of you, and finally understand the way I saw you. Just as it was.

“Thunder and Lightning” (雷声和闪电，Mandarin Chorus)

雷声和闪电

当它们在旁边 

它提醒上帝的力量

救恩天上帝

听到我的祷告请

帮我耐心和维护你的名
