Things I love about this world


An academic is lecturing on Latin didactic poetry on syphilis, chocolate and electricity.

Strangers open doors for other strangers and pick up things they have dropped.

A boy is on a first date, he is nervous, he likes this one.



Two friends are laughing so hard they cry and every time they manage to stop and look at each other they start again.

An old lady is putting on lipstick and feels pretty.

A father has just told his prodigal son he is proud of him.

Someone has just received a package with the address handwritten and is excited to open it.

A little boy in Peru has his first ever pair of shoes.

They are taking the bandages off her eyes and she is so happy to see her children, to know that she will be useful on the farm again.

A couple see each other in KL airport. It has been months that they have been apart. They know they will say goodbye in the same place in 5 days.

The Partner says "we will never speak of this again. Now stay off the radar" and supresses a smile.

A girl laughs about the heartbreak she thought would never end.

The meeting hangs in silence for one minute, for those still suffering.

Someone is forgiven.

Someone dies peacefully  and with dignity.

The mail that went missing mysteriously arrives after 7 years.

She sees the bottom of the ocean for the first time and breaths under water arches her spine in euphoria.

He goes somewhere new in his swan pose, feels energy and peace recieves the first gift of yoga, realises it's not bullish*t after all.

The is no end to the absurdity of human behaviour.

The most common thing police say about their job is "just when you think you've seen it all.. you're wrong".

She dives into the water and thinks "I swim because I can't not swim".

A joke is conveyed with no words.

A young American gives up his seat on a crowded bus to an old lady in Vietnam. She tries to refuse and he says "its only because you look like my girlfriend" in french. She grins.

My private universe is full of glitter and sparkles and I am a magic fairy princess.

You can be rainbow friends with someone you've never met.
