like the flowing river

be like the flowing river.
silent in the night.
be not afraid of the dark.
if there are stars in the sky,
reflect them back.
if there are clouds in the sky,
remember, clouds, like the river, are water.
so, gladly reflect them too,
in your own tranquil depths.

what a great life i have.

it suddenly turned up in my mind: see how even the most simple thing in your life works. then you'll see what a great life you have.

i like it, that words. what's so special about it? we frequently, almost always, look down on simple things such as making decision of what to eat, where to go, what you will do, and else. but, do you know how it affects our life, a lot?

for instance, you are making decision of what to eat. your option is either martabak or sushi. which one will you take? if you take martabak, then you may will be too full or unhealthy. taking sushi, it will be healthy for you, but you may will lose a lot of money because of it is expensive. and you may will have no more money to but what you want in the future.

it both will affect your life. unhealthy food will make you sick in the future. you might have a high colesterol or fat because of martabak. meanwhile sushi will make you lose a lot of money but you will be healthy. it work in the futere, in the unknown time; we never know about future.

everything we do will change our destiny, everything.
