3. Don't test your love on your love, cause one day you might fail the test.
Historians are better at guessing and they are hopeless at defining, but they argue a lot. I guess that defines me as an architectural and art historian. :)

Grown up (?) thoughts
Overheard at male swimming pool changing room...
".... you have to do some today, do some tomorrow, at the beginning, it doesn't feel that good, but eventually it will come...."
turns out they were musicians talking about composing and playing the organ, although I would happily apply that to other areas in life, especially one that of chasing stars (amongst many other things, obviously.)
One something a day, keeps the doctor away.
Unless that Doc has Wong as his last name, in which case, you'll be asking for trouble.

I'd like to think
maybe a dream is the reality of a parallel universe
how friendly faces mingle in familiar places
what was is now lost and found in many will bes
A collection of discontinuations, as connected as our wandering thoughts allow us to be.
Notes dripping off the piano
cats plucking on the guitar
there you were
sands lingering on your hair
your lips a pink not too cherry ripe yet
the kiss, soft and uplifting
before spreading its wings
was found out
found out what could have and never became
maybe a dream is the reality of a parallel universe
how friendly faces mingle in familiar places
what was is now lost and found in many will bes

I (We?) continue to wonder
But faith still exists. It is unthinkable that millions of people, entirely enslaved to materialism, live from day to day without knowing the purpose of their existence. In every human breast there must live that quality that elevates the individual above temporal concerns and enables him to feel a communion with his contemporaries, his nation, with all mankind and with the entire world. Where is it? Is it melting away too, or is there something, something new that is flowing into all mankind and waiting for its resurrection, its radiant transfiguration and crystalization in magnificent works of building? Without religion there is no true culture, no art. And should we, divided into isolated currents, simply vegetate, without creating for ourselves the true beauty of life?
----- Bruno Taut, The City Crown, 1919
Or maybe it's not about wondering, it's about acting.

騰飛不忘黨中央
高瑛回憶當自己表示對艾未未的安危擔憂時,艾未未曾回答,「生命的價值是什麼啊,媽媽你應該知道啊,就是應該幹點好事嘛,如果大家都不發出點東西來,像腐 敗就會愈來愈厲害,像上海的大樓(指11.15大火),如果你不做,還會出現,如果大家都是這樣子看見了卻不說,明哲保身,那麼這個國家和社會還怎麼向前 走?」
慚愧,慚愧。
