My Picture: TianNing Pagoda in Anyang…almost a 1000 years old…..taken yesterday on a  trip to the city. A contrast between old and new….which reflects a discourse in China and the world….

She was given the world
one long shot into the darkness.
Laughing at the moon
more sound than song.

Now gasping for air,
so much she couldn’t see.
This passion, this heat…it’s in our DNA.
And we stay in our worlds.
