Separated by a line of
thin bars, it is only an inch apart between these two worlds. I often watch
this world from the other side - I am superstitious and very afraid of being
caught and snagged by those wronged wandering souls. In this late autumn
afternoon, warm sunrays gently touches the hills
covered by thick motley leaves, even the most restless souls should be
soothed. Walking and visiting their homes, marked by names (things seem to
be more clear here), the first time I watch the other world from this side,
and know for sure people are no more living in this world while sincerely
wishing people really alive on the other side.

Afterthoughts:
I often study those old faces, weather-beaten, among the audience in a
theatre, and see a sign of waiting - "there is not much I can do anymore."
I often follow the rushing steps of middle-aged men and women on the street,
and feel the unbearable heaviness of being - "I have but to fulfill the
myriad responsibilities," which reminds me of Old Faithful in
Yellowstone who dutifully discharges in a predictable manner. I often hear
the burst of laughter from young girls next door, which may sound silly
sometimes, but, still, I envy them for their overflowing energy, boldness,
desire and joy. Is it possible to keep a youthful heart throughout our lives?
How can we renew our passion from time to time? What does it take to
transcend the tedious and ordinary to exuberance, and unhappiness to
creativity?
