rose without thorns under the desert sky...
and all I see is you; your brilliant vastness and incandescent majesty

Walk down the road of crafted gold with me.

Ok, I know, we all go up to Equinox for one reason and one reason only. And that's not even the view. The reason why we all go up to Equinox and pay through our nose for tea (not really actually, I got mine free, thanks Jinhua!), is for the Powder Room! AWESOME!

As infinite as the stars in the velvet sea awashed above
As infinite as the darkest threads that lined the earth
As infinite as the sounds of the ocean calling my name
As infinite as the first night that summer came.

Summer time. Waves of memories crashing upon the shore that is my mind. The sweet scented breeze that blows in my face to awake me to another glorious day. Summer time is here.

" People will accept the love they think they deserve"

What a revelational first of many quotes buried in a thin but truthful book that JJ so kindly passed to me. Thanks dear, and please have a good trip to the States!
Have finished "The Known World"-- I think Oprah gave it more praise than it deserved; am still trying to figure out which part of the book got it the Pulitzer Prize. Dawny let me know when you're finished with it! Am looking forward to seeing you girlies tml!

Right now, im a sparodic blogger at best, practically non-existent at the worst. But I doubt it even makes a diffference.

Reading Edward P. Jones' "A known world", a book about slavery and human property. It was the one that Oprah said was one of the best she has ever read, and I found it in the SMU library! Hoorah!

sunsetfadedavy--free-spirit19

i fall asleep, because i trust those who I lie with, under the starry skies..
i snuggle under the warmth they entrust me with, safe in the haven of love..
i reach out to friends that i once walled up against and find unexpected surprise..
i fly unafraid because i know they will catch me if i fall..
i stay uncovered and without tense in a world that i believe is mine...
i find a hidden pleasant gift that makes me smile no end..
i sometimes wish for greener pastures that leave me wanting more..
but in my comfort,
i feel secure and therefore i continue to soar.

25th-Apr-2007 12:18 am - 5 people and what I feel
sunsetfadedavy--free-spirit19

This is a spinoff from someone's blog...for me to write about 10 people on my friends list and my honest opinion of them, of course, without naming who I am talking about, but instead I'll just settle for 5. Since I do not know everyone on my friends' list well enough to judge them, I shall write based on the stuff I read from your blogs.


1. You seem to be in a journey of uncovering your self, and get defensive easily, because you have a need to prove that others are wrong when they judge you without knowing the situation and the circumstances you were in. You have an interesting way of writing, but I think that you should explore your potential further and push yourself to heights you never thought you could encounter. 


2. I think, you should stop being so needy. There is life beyond couplehood and that should stop being your only focus, although I may be wrong. However, if what we write about very often is a reflection of what we are consumed with, then truly, you should expand your scope on concentration to involve the rest of the world and start getting deeper beyond the superficial items on the list of life. You seem easily contented yet at the same time also easily upset.; perhaps its time for you to be stronger and sturdier as a person.


3. You are a strong woman, someone I respect and look up to. You seem to know what you are doing, and by virtue of that very fact, plus the fact that you have strong core values that are deserving of admiration, you are I believe a very good friend. It's people like you that keep the world sane and fun all at once, and that is why you shouldnt change. Talking to you is extremely refreshing; like a glass of ice cold lemonade under summer sunshine. ;)

4. You have always been one of my best friends, and though we may have different experiences and different views, I feel comfortable enough to bare my thoughts to you. I don't tell u every thing though; some things are still meant to be private, but your giving heart and always there attitude is immensely heartwarming. I can only say, I cant imagine if I didnt know you. 


5. I would like to get to know you better, but I think some things have to follow their course, but from what I know of you, you make me want to get out and live life more than ever before. Your easy smile and innocence still strikes me as much each time we talk as it did the first time I met you, and I hope that doesnt change. I do wish you become less walled up and more free to love. 


'Aights, that's basically it. think i should be trooping off to bed now! gnight world!

24th-Apr-2007 05:38 pm - What silver teaches us.
Malachi 3:3 says: "He(God)  will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver."


This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God.


One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.


That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining Silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.


The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says:  "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver."  She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined.


The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.


The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?" 
He smiled at her and answered, "Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in it."

sunsetfadedavy--free-spirit19
I see myself in a certain someone, and the likeless astounds me so.
I always thought I was the only weird one
Who ponders over things that matter not that much the next minute
As they seem to matter at that point


I feel a sense of understanding and belonging
A sudden less lonely and worried
A reason to reach out and realize
That the world is made of many different types of people
That sometimes we end up chasing things that move slightly too fast for us
Other times we just watch the world go twirling by
More stunned and numb and too uptight to do anything else


Its great to find someone who can understand
Though not totally concretely spelled out
And never mentioned in front of each other


But its nice to know that someone will understand
Although this someone may now know whats is wrong
But that someone goes through the same thing
And I feel less like a sad, sad song.
