The world is constructed so loosely, isn't it?

It seems life
is constructed in a way
that no one can fulfill it alone.
Life contains its own absence,
which only an other can fulfill.
It seems the world is the summation of Others
and yet,
we neither know nor are told
that we will fulfill each other.
We lead our scattered lives,
perfectly unaware of each other...
Or at times, allowed to find
the Other's presence disagreeable
Why is it,
that the world is constructed so loosely?

Morning

I don't think we get back to normal.
How could we?
When last month many people were just killed on the street.
In the middle of the town.
We say 'move on'.
When some lives stopped moving on for goods.
This is how city people live.
Just move on with the flock.
I wish I could.

Built your dream by Wendy

Love all of these from Built by Wendy
Love how the pieces were called after the artists.
Like : Degas, Gauguin or Monet.
Wear what you dream to be and feel like one.

Terms of endearment

Aurora: "I just don't want to fight anymore."
Emma: "What do you mean? When do we fight?"
Aurora: "WHEN do we FIGHT? I always think of us as fighting!"
Emma: "That's because you're never satisfied with me."


Emma: "Momma, that's the first time I stopped hugging first.
....I like that...."

Magga and his reading

My father loves reading.

That makes me love reading.

And I met my husband who loves reading.

That makes our son loves reading too.

Reading books for Magga

Gwyneth Paltrow recommended her favorite children books in Goop.
So this makes me thinking about mine.
These are what I read and want to read to Magga.




Harold and the purple crayon by Crockett Johnson
Apart from being the classic one,
this is the first book that Kanchit gave to me.
That’s why I love reading this to Magga, for our good memory.





Shel Silverstein’s book
I read his books to 4 kids that I’ve known in my life.
3 of my nieces and one of my son.
All I can say is that all of them love his books.
My first niece is now 15 years old so that was almost 12 years ago.
I love his image at the back cover of the giving tree.
When they asked me who this guy was,
and then they got reluctant to believe that he’s the writer
when I told them he was.
But after reading his books again and again
they told me that this guy was so gentle.
I found how amazing it was to see them getting to know people
from…..inside out.





The Grilled fish by Oguma Hideo
This was translated from Japanese to Thai.
It’s the story about the Mackerel fish
that was caught and sold in the market.
But all of the time it’s longing to go back home…the sea.
I got this book from my best friend as a present for my birthday.
It was one of my favorite present that I ever got.





The Crescent moon by Rabindranath Tagore
Beautiful poems that’s easy to read for children.
I got this copy from my best friend when Magga was born.
I love Rabindranath Tagore.





The zoo by Suwannee Sukhonta
This book was written in Thai.
Suwannee was an amazing woman.
She was a mother, a writer, an artist, an editor
who was ahead of her time.
The way she wrote was like painting a picture.
I love the beautiful words in her book.
She was so irreplaceable.





Little Wan By Sarawok
This classic was also written only in Thai.
It's the story about the little girl called Wan
who’s living in the countryside.
I still remember that my sister got this book
as her birthday present from our parents,
when she was 12 years old and I was 8 years old at that time.
I love Nu Wan ever since.
It was said that lots of Nu wan's perspective
was based on Marxism.
But it was one of the hundred books
that was recommended to read for Thai children.
Find the first edition to read (if you could).
Because some has been censored,
when recommended by the government.
No matter what,
her thoughts about the world around her are still timeless.

Grave

One of the good things in the digital world is that
you can go anywhere you want, anytime you feel like.
Searching through the internet.
Finding images of how my legends 'rest in peace'
is my most favorite place that I always love to go.
And these could make me rested in everyday life......peacefully too.
