Dreams

Dreams

Always have dreams,

Age slows us not.

The landscape

The landscape

of age,

of colours

that enrich memories.

Fragility

Fragility

of thoughts

that can add years.

Overflow

When gratitude overflows,

Humility overflows too.

Lines on my face

Lines on my face

Deep lines,

Happiness does run deep.

"... People have sorrow ...."

People have sorrow and joy, parting and reunion.

Like the moon waxing or waning or going from full to crescent,

Since ancient time nothing has ever been perfect.

Nevertheless, I wish you long life,

So we’ll share a thousand kinds of grace and beauty!

Su Dongpo/Su Shi (1037-1101)
