I thought I loathed Physics
until little children came asking
how a violin produced its sound
and I explained to them
the laws of friction and vibration
the propagating waves (beautiful phrase)
through the strings, bridge, soundpost and wooden box
How the bow pressure changes when gliding on strings
Why and how bowhold affects tone production
the laws of energy, resistance and force
volume and amplitude
ah, Physics is wonderful

i hate the world

Can you convince me they are not
Flogging me to death

I’ve been crying, really I have
Tried telling myself I’ll be fine
I’ll only come out stronger
More effective, more efficient,
More competent

But I keep crying

They are flogging me to death

Love me when I less deserve it,
because it is when I need it most.
~Chinese proverb

Learned from His Story (part 2)

Now my brother has a new love, his fiancée
Who shares his laughter and frustrations

She whose name he mentions each day
You know, she’s good at this and that
In this situation she would take this step

See that sparkle in his eyes
Perhaps he has finally found the one

Learned from His Story (part 1)

I remember how my brother
Remarked the end of his relationship
With the one he almost married, some time ago

I feel loss, he said, It’s like..
Losing your favorite toy.

Well I guess what he really was saying was
He loved her, but not that much
Never to that extent

Maybe he already knew deep down
It would end somehow
