(Edited) Morning of the Lazarus Christmas

(edited, there were kids wanting to swim this cold morning; here’s an edit of it at dusk)

Morning of the Lazarus Christmas

1Sky

May we all rise up

from all the rubble and ruins.

May all  our voices

 rise above the rush

 of the winds,  

waters,

wars,

tremors,

and gloom

1.1Sky

May all parents,

sons and daughters

 rise against those who covet

unbridled power

purveyors of  helplessness

and doom.

1.2Sky

May all reunited families

come together, rise

 to match this test,  

surpass all burden

…  We will rise forth

       and endure

… We will rise through

       and prevail.

A SEASON  OF  CARING AND SURPASSING TO YOU AND ALL YOUR LOVED ONES.

 

 

Happy Chinese New Year! other holiday greetings, & a health post to boot

If these greetings don’t  get  done today, they’ll never get done. It’s the final, ultimate, non-extendible deadline for  holiday greetings.

New Year’s greeting, Xmas message (late !! minus 5), Chinese New Year’s Kung Hei Fat Choy (and a health post to boot)

Here it is…

think of where you are now

compared to years ago

and imagine time-travel is possible today

and your old self (the one who hasn’t finished school and wasn’t sure he/she could stay alive)  could teleport  over here —

And see you.

he/ she would say:

A)     Wow.

           or ….

B) You/ We finished it!

         or…

        Did you/ we really do that? or…

C)     Look at you – you’re…. 1) crawling

                                                       2) up and about!

                                          3) Fat (how to compute your body mass index, future post)

                                         4)  shaped like a question mark, an inverted number, the symbol for water

                                        5) twisted                                       

       i’m messing with you.

     Take your pick. I’m sure you  know what your old self would tell you..your big picture would be better. ito na lang ang isipin mo (just put this in your head) everytime  you’re completely spent, tired,  totally wasted and useless — you’re probably over-emoting.  

[This message doesn’t apply to…. those accused, with prima facie evidence, of crimes involving moral turpitude (stealing, etc.)  your old self might….. not like it, so…. just prepare a big smile… ]

TO EVERYONE: Happy Chinese New Year!!!
