End











Autumn,
Red, orange, yellow, and the green
lying down indifferently.

Absolute truth

The truth, absolute truth can only be hold in our hearts. It cannot be described, it cannot be told, or it cannot be hide. Why do we want to believe in little facts and do decisions on little uncertain illusions? Secrets are kept inside, envious thoughts are buried under the smiles, greed and pride are pushing with a strong energy to beat our hearts. How easily we have forgotten the truth, to understand ourselves, to see the light, to smile from the bottom of the heart? Everyone has been truly happy, simple, and honest once in their very early life,--- some,-- very shortly while some got a luxurious chance to hold it for some time. Adulthood, maturation process, all those names, under the light of truth is mostly delusions. We easily traded off our innocence for temptations. While we yawn for the truth, we are chasing around our colorful tempataions till the end of the rainbow. Life is the process running under the mechanics of absolute truth. Are we going to hang onto our delusions, or are we going to be strong enough to break the bonds of our temptations, to embrace the simple, happy and honest mind once we were born with? ----to be able to hold our innocence again. ----to be able to see the truth, nothing but the truth, --- our absolute truth.

My Favorite Quote












To see the world in a grain of sand,
and to see heaven in a wild flower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hands,
and eternity in an hour.


__William Blake

Yesterday

It was yesterday when we laughed,
Our smiles were bright
in the reflection of the moonlight.
While we hold hands and walked down the lane,
we talked about our thoughts and dreams.
Dream to be simple;
dream to dare,
and dream to tie the yellow ribbon bands.
Dream to give,
and dream to be given;
Dream to love the days to come.
Love is sweet,
and love is bold;
Love is yesterday
untill we grow old.
And-----
we promised to be together again;
No matter what we have become.

September: S for Sinatra

Lyrics
The September Of My Years

One day you turn around, and it's summer.
Next day you turn around, and its fall.
And the springs and the winters of a life time,
whatever happened to them all?
As a man who has always had the wandering ways,
now I'm reaching back for yesterdays,
till' a long forgotten love appears.
And I find that I'm sighing softly as I near, September.
The warm September of my years.
As a man, who has never paused at wishing wells,
now I'm watching children carousels.
And their laughter's music to my ears.
And I find that I'm smiling gently as I near,September.
The warm September of my years.
The golden, warm September of My Years.....

September reminds me of one of the greatest singers, Frank Sinatra and his mind blowing album, "September of my years", released in 1965. I cannot possibly describe how much I love to listen Sinatra. He is the legend, idol, the best of the best. This is the site where you can sample this amazing September songs

Here is the review done by Stan Cornyn in 1965 for the album, "September of my years."


"---He sings of the penny days.
Of the rose-lipt girls and candy apple times.
Of green winds, of a first lass
who had perfumed hair.
April thoughts.

He sings with perspective.
This vital man, this archetype of the good life,
this idolized star ...this man pauses.
He looks back. He remeber,
and graces his memory with a poet's vision.

He has lived enough for two lives,
and can sing now of September.
Of the bruising days.
Of the rouged lips and bourbon times.
Of chill winds,
Of forgotten ladies who ride in limousines.
September can be an attitude or an age or a wistful reality.

For this man, it is a time of love. A time to sing.
A thousand days hath September."


__ Stan Cornyn, 1965
