程 Life is a Long Journey.., Chennai Express India June 2008
approaching to me,
feeling of something
away from me..
An the feeling of something sharing.. or exchanging..
in the meantime.
Life is a collection of debris from those of comes & goes..
with psychological scars
left as just chunks of memories..
.. bulky set of weighted connections among the activated neurons..
sometimes jewels..
mostly garbages..
though we learn a lot from the garbages..
Now I have no chance in sitting at the entrance steps with the door wide open in the train in Korea, Canada or other developed countries.
But I have a good memory of doing exactly same thing the men at the picture were doing when I was in school in early 1980..
We talked about our girl friends, mostly political situations, and what our life would like to be over the beers, and sang lots of songs hoping for better future and condemning political reality.. on the train running fast.. with the door wide open.. with all the swirling wind rushing onto our faces..
We were so happy together on the rail..
listening and feeling the constant rythm of the running steel horse..
So you might imagine how much I like this train with all the doors wide open for me..
I payed nearly twice more fare for Sleeper Class with Air Conditioning but I didn't actually needed the luxury(relatively speaking). Second class sitting with lowest wage should be mine..

鏡 Narcissistic Life in Vain.., Highland & Westlake Golf Clubs Ontario 2008
It seems that Narcissus is one of the faces of the Omnisience.

All the shame over those by gone days..

街 Street of Gerrald and Broadview, Small China Town Toronto Nov 2008
whenever I was visiting cities with lots of people like Hong Kong, downtown Tokyo or Seoul.
Nobody pays any attention to any specific person
even though somebody has quite different outfit or apperance.
Walking along with group speed of people like herd of fishes or cows
makes me feel different and funny.. which I like..

家 a House at the Corner, Castle Frank Street Toronto Nov 15 2008
the old house acts like a lighthouse..
kind of landmark.. at all time.. at least for me.
.. have I done the similiar role to others ever in my lifetime?
光 Twilight over the Clouds, Chennai Express India 2006
Running to the East with fast speed..
I could have stayed a bit more with the twilight..
I liked to miss somebody or something..
nobody.. nothing in mind..though..
Instead I just had a look at the spectrum
for a long time.. thinking nothing.. missing nobody..
天孤 Twilight casting over the tiny palm tree, Chennai Express India 2006
I see the only tree over there..
a small but beautiful palm tree..
upright still with the long hairs..
Years ago a bird might drop a seed while she flew..
to initiate the life of the plant on the very spot.
What a miracle of life I see..
What a seemingly inadvertent but
extremely well self-maintaining ecosytem
furbished by the Invisible Hand.

生 Some corners in the early morning at the beach, Daechon Beach Korea 2004
.. I catch small calamaris with empty shells..and you?
.. I have sort of marry-go-round for the beach comers..
They became friends.
As I saw their means of living,
I found the common thing..
very much clearly perfectly managed nests with shells,
same for the machies of marry-go-round..
They had been trying their best so far for their lives..
