Affirmation: You are important. You do count. What you do with the love in your heart does matter. You do make a difference.
Word of the Day: froideur (n):
____
In addition to this public blog, I have a secure personal blog and writing in that today took precedence because I had a lot of thoughts I had to process on my own. I usually think of myself that doesn't need time to recovery from travel related jet lag, but things have been really rough on that front since I've been back. I woke up at 5:15 this morning after having gotten less than 2 hours of sleep last night (despite getting into bed at around 11pm) and I ended up taking 2 HOUR long naps today, including one in the late afternoon (so I am afraid that I am just making this vicious sleepless nights cycle worse). I am going to aim to not nap at all tomorrow - or to at least to take just 1 that isn't so long or late.
Other than that, I apologize if my blog posts are scant and sporadic - I'm feeling really overwhelmed and behind and pressed for time with my MBA courses as well as some remaining applications I'm working on whose due dates are just around the corner. Still, I will try my best to keep you guys updated to some extent as well as perhaps share some good articles with you.

1. French. An attitude of haughty aloofness; cold superiority.
Farther and Farther from Zero
Suddenly, I fall from the pavilion
into a place where I see the ugliness,
hypocrisy, rouge on a sunken face,
a thorn lodged in a kidney, the blind crone
holding a laurel wreath from the winner,
her black ribbons in shreds,
her eyes dark with purple,
a gold anklet on her shriveled leg.

The puppet show looks charming,
but go behind the screen and see who runs it.

Wash your hands and face of this charade.
Anyone who wants these prizes
flares up quickly like a wood chip.

There is one who can help,
who turns the wheel from nonexistence
to a sweet-breathing emptiness.

Words are ways we add up breath,
counting stress and syllable
with our exacting musical knack
that takes us farther and farther from zero.
