mystery!
25
May, 2013
I
profoundly acknowledge that out of the love
between my father and my mother I have been brought forth into this
life. In this ordinary and yet unique metaphor, I understand, I
figure for myself the meaning of the mystery of the Holy Trinity,
God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit. The Holy
Trinity is undoubtedly a mystery…
But in a normal sense...

many languages! many cultures!

May, 2013
 You,
seeing my yawning face and puffy eyes on a winter morning,
enthusiastically greet me, “G’day, mate!”
“Hah?” My lackadaisical mood is quickly changed. I no longer appear
lethargic, instantly wake up, and panicky react, “What do you mean…
MATE???”, for where I come from, I’m sorry to say that, “mate”
surely denotes something intimate, very intimate…

where are you from?
5
May, 2013
 Still
a phenomenon, as if I wear a T-Shirt marked, “Ask me where I am
from,” when being in foreign lands, just like a magnet, very often
people come to me asking me (or my friend if I don’t speak the
language of the land),
“Where are you from?”
“Really? You ask me… Where am I from?”
You stare at me,
“What’s wrong with that?"...

oh! passionate love
26
April, 2013
 Love,
a simple vocabulary, consists of only four letters, pronounced with
one syllable since the e is silent, and yet by nature requires the
passionate characteristic. Love will not last if that love is
lukewarm! Sorry to say that. Either we love passionately or we
don’t. There is no medium, mediocre or in between when coming to the
hot topic: love...

 The
human mind can never be able to comprehend why the fishing
boat is no longer empty, vacuous, but filled with countless
fish. Despairing faces of Peter and his companions are
transformed into joyful faces. They are smiling and
laughing. And leaving everything behind, his family, his
fishing boat...

mea culpa! it
is my fault!

March, 2013
 Undoubtedly
we experience in life some people (including some famous and public
figures), who, once having got caught with their unpleasant acts,
deny them until they cannot deny anymore… And if I keep denying that
I am indeed the one and only one who causes me to face the wretched
life, certainly this self-denial will not allow me to get out of the
pit but rather exacerbate my miserable condition...

 Cô
gái cúi xuống, chỉ phiá dưới, giọng chắc nịch,
— Bốn chục...
Người đàn ông hụp một nhịp thở, tim đập thật nhanh. Bình
bịch! Rồi ông bỏ đi. Cô gái chạy theo, tay chỉ vào bộ ngực
căng tròn,
— Hai chục đô.
Ngay tới dưới gốc cây dừa... Ông thở hơi mạnh, dồn dập,
cởi cởi bao tay, móc móc hai tay vào trong túi quần...

Autumn! Hello...

Gọi dậy xôn xao cả một mùa.
