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.

living with others.

yes you have to be yourself.
but you're not alone in this world.
billions different people are trying to be themselves.

just like holes on a paper covering a window.
each hole has its own picture.

yet, they can make a whole picture of the window - since they still have similarities.




we somehow have to be similar to unite - to make one whole picture - in our differences.
