A coffee shop sign - A break from this absurd reality

I must write this feeling before I forget because it was so subtle but powerful.

It was a sign hanging at a small coffee shop on South 1st Street.

The sign said something like "freshly grounded coffee beans...."

That simple phrase made me realize that life has to keep going no matter what.

I felt that someone must have kept that coffee shop running to be true to what they are saying in the sign, otherwise, that store would not have lasted by now.


Likewise, I would not have lasted by now if I was not true to myself by being honest and open myself to show vulnerability to others. 

While an abundant social media information by self-deceiving people are creeping me out, that sign gave me a break.

It was a break from this absurd reality.

It was a moment of tranquility.

I am so glad that I had a luxury to drive alone and feel that way.

I live for such moment.

Who the hell am I loving you so long?

When you said "I cannot live without you", 
love was easy and given to me.

I realize that I was the one who could not live without you.

I tried to fall in love with somebody else but could not.
I tried to mimic another true love but could not.

Because million times of infatuation were not even close to one moment of love I got from you.

Now, I know that you are the reason I am here.
You are the reason I live.

Now, I ask myself, 
"who the hell am I loving you so long?"

Nothing's gonna change my world ~ Across The Universe

As soon as I touch the vastness of John Lennon in  "Across the Universe", the world around me becomes so transparently interconnected and I can easily embrace my body and emotions. 

When I do it, embracing myself as a whole, I am able to embrace my solitude, which is the most beautiful thing on the planet and I stop chasing anything and things just come to me. 

Things means everything...my past, presence and future...




Words are flowing out Like endless rain into a paper cup

They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe

Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind possessing and caressing me

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world


Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes

They call me on and on across the universe

Thoughts meander like a restless wind Inside a letter box

They tumble blindly as they make their way Across the universe



Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world


Sounds of laughter shades of life Are ringing through my opened ears

Inciting and inviting me Limitless undying love

Which shines around me like a million suns

It calls me on and on across the universe



Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
