Dum Spiro Spero

Have you ever been so lost in darkness, that your sightseeing is only as far as one meter radiance?  Or for worse, you can't see nothing at all except your fingers up closed to your eyes. That's how I see my path sometime. Confused by so many options, preferences, obligatory deals. And when I feel depressed, I tend to visit dreamland more often than my dream card suggests. My pillow is more appealing than reality. I read once that it's a sign of stress, despair and the psychology manifestation of  avoiding reality. And do you want to know what kind of recurrent dream is on my top list of box office dreaming? Jumping high from roof to roof, like a Gin Kang master in kungfu film. Odd? Funny? No, believe me, it's again just another symptom of how I want to flee from my burden. However, there is one thing that extracts me back to real life, that is hope. People may say I wish too much, but it is hope that keep me alive. There is no too much in dreaming, hoping. Maybe someday I could really fly from roof to roof  :p . Hope is a beautiful garnish on my spirit. Like they say in Latin, "dum spiro spero", while I breathe I hope.


Go a distance and you'll see
This old scent savors the best in life
Like a shadow yet shines on you
when all the friendly lights are gone
Cherish your hope
