There is a soothing quality to this silence in the house
It is night outside, the time the hour and the minute does not matter
Some friends are awake and others are asleep
a slight nostalgia
looking at the faces
should I not be in Siem Reap for the New Year's Eve?
or wait for the boat to Belle Isle fully wrapped against the elements?
When there is no attachment, there is neither a welcome nor a good bye
a bitter viet coffee, flavours of a home coomed viet meal
There are places in Yunnan that I must go
as the poet would say
Someone or other is always waiting
may be it is me who is waiting
anxiously
for someone or other whose name i cannot recollect ..
Yes, the mind is ready for vipassana
