一個男人站出來了,他高喊「以筆為旗」;
又一個男人站出來了,他寫出《清水裡的刀子》;
如今,我也想跟著站出來
我沒能寫出什麼

但我跟他們流著一樣的血、一樣的淚。

Two poems for me

2009 
I met a girl with short straight hairs,
Standing lonely & calmly,
I asked her why r u looking so serious,
Why r u depressed & looking suppressed,
She looked at the sky,
Like waiting for someone & something
She said by taking a deep sigh,
I have some ambition & vision,
To soar the sky, to reach high,
To listen the soul, to determine my goal,
To touch the stars, that shines too far,
To visualize tomorrow, by forgetting my sorrow,
To follow a path, to track my soul,
To desire something, that makes me whole,
I ask little, but I dream for more,
A place, a world to which I lived for,
I am a dust, with no storm,
I am a flood, with no roar,
I beg my Allah, to give what I want,
Right path, real world & to get what I can’t.

Book

One thing we should not do is to approach these works
as if they provide somehow answers ready-made answers to the problems of today.
Only we can provide answers to our problems, rather the great works provide us.
The worth of a book is to measured by what one can carry away from it.

Knowledge

There are three ways of knowing a thing.
One can be told of the flame,
one can see the flame with his own eyes,
and finally one can reach out and be burned by it.
I wish I could become the burned one





Use whatever knowledge you have but see its limitations.
Knowledge alone does not suffice; it has no heart.
No amount of knowledge will nourish or sustain your spirit;
it can never bring you ultimate happiness or peace.
Life requires more than knowledge;
it requires intense feeling and constant energy.
Life demands right action if knowledge is to come alive.

Let it be

Let it be giving and receiving
Let it be teacher and student
Let it be mouth and ears
Let it be one chapter of a book
Let it be a reminder of our thinking during this period
Let it be the impartation of knowledge





Let it be immortal
Let it be endless
Let it be true
