A Slow Slow Wakening

From a deep deep sleep.

A Slow Slow Wakening
Teng Ai/unnamed/10/9/2016

The lens, the honest observer, likes telling any tiny changes on one's face. It is wild with joy when one sees something never sensed before, it is a beautiful reflection of life maturity. It also could be called "getting old" with wrinkles! Anyways, it is exciting enough to be growing outwardly and awakening inwardly at the same time! Guess, there is another person living behind the lens--Erin.

Looking through the deep brown pupils inside of her eyes, there is a secret land in the deepest place. A vigorous tree is standing there assembling all the memories and connecting each of the neurons from different scenes in the past. It is a watchman guarding the most sacred place for the luminous lights which are shining and greening. Besides the tree, a running river lies along the bank. There, music is never called music but named "the water in the river!" There, time is never counted by the needles in a clock but drew on the tree rings by overspreading the greenery lichens. There, on the lichens, bunches of budding orchids are stretching and yawning.

Life is maturing with the awakening eyes in a growing body. Death is walking into the dark tunnel, closing the eyes to discover the real secret land! Been awakening or sleeping, the land is encircling with the wispy flutes up from the sky all the time.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
