Write my songs, send my cheers How could one forget? Why the birds chirp, Why the winter sun sets? Though one and done, I have no regrets I, who turned south Who's heart is out west. Willow birds sing my songs Red Tulips cover my heart Moonlight lights my path White Cranes show my past Oh! Dear crimson wine Tell me my sins Any never done? Any repeats? This abyss of thirst Blinds my own dreams Under a lone oak tree No shade for me it seems Dear thin mountain air, Please cool my sweat As I close my eyes I place a final bet When it's all at the end I will have my laugh Family, foe or friend Will have to understand.
A day for these clouds to be under your tippy toes, Air serenading around your waist with ease. Each movement praises the perfection of creation The music is your instrument, half a step higher for your wings. Scent of the roses fill the theater. Peonies, Poppies, Lotuses, All make way for the little swans
Greetings my friend, Recently, I've observed a phenomena that has been particularly bothering me. In our western society toxic-positivity has been promoted, and become the semi-norm. From motivational speakers preaching about "no-negativity", to doctors prescribing anti-depressants to the smallest of negative thought, to marijuana being more and more accepted by people who don't need it's medicinal properties, our obsession with happiness as infiltrated almost every layer of society. So, you may ask, what's the harm in it? What's wrong with being positive? Well, of course nothing. It's simply emotions or a state of mind. However, like anything in life, excess of it is detrimental to the individual and to society. Too much drinking leads to liver disease, too much smoking leads to lung issues, too much food causes stomach pain, too much oxygen causes oxygen sickness, too much sadness causes depression. This is not any different with positivity....
