  • 20070815-Six Miners

    The progress for the rescue (or recovery) of the six trapped miners in Utah seems too slow for me. The third hole being drilled may be a hopeful sign but not convincing enough after one week of the accident. The recent crop circle formation dated August 12, 2007 of the Mayan symbol for the number six may represent these six miners, who may still be alive or may have been beamed up into heaven by friendly beings. Or maybe there is up to the date of Saturday, August 18, 2007 to find out the status of this mining incident.

    Accidents do happen at very risky jobs and noone should be at fault for not spending enough money to find out better ways to mine for coal. The extra money for preventative measures would ensure that future accidents do not occur and the trouble of any rescue and recover efforts is minimized. This includes improving the rescuing of any lost or trapped persons with improved GPS tracking system and escape (or evacuation) plans, for examples.

    We cannot predict when anyone’s time should come to an end. All we could do is to wait and see what will be the outcome of this unified effort of hope. Promoting hope is always better than a final conclusion without closure. I do not like waiting but this is the current technology.  I have entered my blog entitled 20070812-Circle Scroll as my original interpretation of strange events going on in this world.

  • 20070815-Profound Sadness

    My profound sadness on the evening Thursday, August 9, 2007 was indeed a death that I picked up from someone very, very distantly ‘related’ to me in spirit. Somehow, during my phone conversation with a caller today at around 12:50PM, I found out that there was indeed a medical condition possibly cause by cancer. My unfinished poem about cancer patient will be dedicated to ‘my relative’ of the deceased. I have entered my original impression under my blog entitled: 20070809-Daily Thoughts.

  • 20070815-Button Eyes

    An image showing a Shih Tzu with big button eyes!
    An image showing a Shih Tzu on a porcelain collector plate measures 8-1/4 inches in diameter and is available exclusively from the Danbury Mint.

    While looking through the TV guide last week to find the exact date I was watching ‘The Ninth Gate’ on cable, I came across the cardboard advertisement showing this cute picture of a short-haired Shih Tzu dog with the cutest button eyes ever. Below this picture is the following poem:

    You look at me with eyes of love;
    You never hold a grudge…
    You think I’m far too wonderful
    To criticize or judge

    I love this poem, which to me does represent what a good boy any dog with the look of devotion could do to melt my heart.  I love him! If I had a cute dog like him, I’d shower him with lots of hugs and kisses and spoil him with lots of cute bows in his hair and doggy treats, too. I would be very emotionally attached and treat this other life form as one of the family.

    During a phone conversation around 12:40PM this afternoon, I had told the caller, ‘I wish I could release all dogs [from their masters]. In my mind, I wanted to express to the caller (but couldn’t) that dogs do not always need to serve their masters. Dogs are meant to roam around freely in the wild as their love and affection for their owners. In return, the caretakers of dogs (or any pets) should be reciprocating.

    A ‘good dog’ should not be told what to do on command by their alpha leaders and be punished for not behaving within normal parameters. Cruelty to dogs or ultimate death should not result for the dog raised without love either. Dogs as with all animals have intelligence and other heightened senses that some of us humans have not fully developed.

    Some animals seem to exhibit human behavior, such as emotions of happiness when rewarded with love and sadness with the loss of a loved one. We must learn how to better communicate with other life forms in their language and to increase our understanding of why some animals capture our hearts better than others for domesticated purposes, such as food or companionship.

    Just like the two-dimensional photo of this dog, the eyes that light up and glisten is a sign of life and love. The eyes that tend to squint are dull, listless and otherwise creepy with redness may indicate something terribly wrong with the bio-unit. So, peer into the eyes and determine whether the feeling is warm and fuzzy or cold and clammy. The eyes are indeed the way to the soul, if any.

  • 20070815-This Land

    The Native folks once brave and bold,
    Had lost their lands – ancestor’s gold
    Their trail of tears left opened wide
    By snaky oils: the pale ones lied.
    This prime real estate belongs to ‘God’ – His land.
    Nothing is possible without His helping hand.

    Marry a spouse, nothing to hold.
    Owning a house, nothing but sold.
    In this big box, there’s junk inside.
    Undying love, working with pride.
    Monthly mortgage payments — rents on a strip of land
    Until death do us part, by my hard working hand.

    Author’s note: First attempt at ‘Wrapped Refrain‘ poetry of two stanzas with 8-8-8-12-12 syllables in aabbcc pattern.
