Welcome to my world


Life is a constant pursuit, this is my journey.

William Wordsworth's Ode: Intimations of Immortality

"...Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass,

of glory in the flower; we will grieve not, rather find

strength in what remains behind;

In the primal sympathy which having been must ever be;

In the soothing thoughts that spring out of human suffering;

... In the faith that looks through death...

Thanks to the human heart by which we live

Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears

To me the meanest flower that blows, can give thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears."

Snow Flower and The Secret Fan

Snow Flower and The Secret Fan is a 2005 novel by Lisa See set in nineteenth century China. It was made into a film in 2011. The premise of the movie is about two girls who are bonded together by a tradition known as laotong; a relationship that bonds them together as friends for life. They communicate by writing in a secret language called Nu shu on a white silk fan they deliver back and forth to each other. 
There are two stories in this film, that of the two girls in the 19th century and two of their descendants in present day Shanghai. Each set of girls endure pain and struggles. This is a story about real friendship between women.

    Hmmm A good book I am sure. I always love discussion of intimate friendships and the concept therein.

    I hope the summer is treating you well.

    Cheers,
