Waiting for words.

tensions started when our cultures collided

silence (a blank figure)


grew heads of mistrust and misunderstanding.


creativity was oppressed. progress scattered.


in silence, my friends, listen carefully.


wait for thoughts to find its' voice. wrestle the silent tensions.


SPEAK OUT! AND FLATTEN THESE IMAGINARY WALLS!


seek dialogue and find your resolution.


-Daniel Yang

so what is actually going on over there?? It has been two months and I habe no clue what to tell people about project focus... The poetry is irritating after the lack of an update since the last post about tension over there which never explained what the actual problem was. This is all very vague.

More concerete, less abstract. These are just words with many syllables.

I haven't been keeping up with this blog...but I like Danny's poem (Harishi and others' comments even more). The poem is revealing. It expresses and builds tension. Development of ourselves and our environment is supposed to be difficult, with tension in our minds. If not, then we are not learning.
