Meeting and Encounter
There are instruments that change one’s life.
There are books that change one’s life.
There are oceans that change one’s life.
There are mountains that change one’s life.
There are human that change one’s life.
We have meetings and encounters like that.
Meeting and encounter will happen all the sudden.
Until now and after
Should I be able to walk?
Should I be able to speak?
Should I be able to write it?
Should I be able to endure?
Should I be able to get along with everyone?
For what
For who
I want to decide for myself.
I will eat whatever I want to eat.
I will watch whatever I want to watch.
I will go wherever I want to go
Its not that I like fewer things.
Its not that I like distant places.
It just happens to be like that.
Suddenly I became popular among people.
And I’m climbing that.
You and me.
I’m fed up with practicing how to speak.
I’m done with my gait training.
I’m not a veteran.
I’m not a sick person.
I’m not a handicapped person.
People just say that you are handicapped.
On a rainy day, you need an umbrella. Right?
Everyone has his or her own disadvantages.
I just want a little spice to go for the goal.
The essence of life does not change.
I want a real feeling, not just evidence.
It doesn’t have to be eternal. It can only be in a second.
I want to live like a picture book.
I will do what I want to do.
I will find the things I want to do.
Meeting and encounter will happen all the sudden.
Do not change.
It is difficult to change.
Just move forward.
There will be a moment where you will be fulfilled.
Hungry children are waiting here.
