pride and joy

choosing… a random bit

得不到的东西,我们会一直以为他是美好的,那是因为你对他了解太少,没有时间与他相处在一起。当有一天,你深入了解后,你会发现原不是你想像中的那么美好。

– Gautama Buddha

from a distance, a piece
of glass lying on the
pavement is a star, is
a wish, is a wink
to be coveted

upon closer inspection, a piece
of glass exhibits properties
of any other, is cold, is
warm, is prickly
to the touch

  1. we fake it even
    when we are trying
    not to – it takes
    just about
    anything to flip
    the switch, it is
    why we say the
    things we said
    we wouldn’t
