Friend’s name comes up at the corner of Facebook, saying birthday today.
I write message ‘Happy Birthday!’
as I think Birthday is the day to be celebrated.
*
After childhood was over, I thought it is too girly to ask to be celebrated, though.
In the morning of first birthday which I had completed breast cancer treatment,
I got a lots of messages from my friends. Long long thread.
I realized I was and should celebrate my survival.
*
Yes. I’m still alive. I’m smiling and tearing. I’m happy from bottom of my heart.
*
Celebrate our life, our one-year effort in this difficult world. For each one of us.
Happy Birthday!

Sushi cake
Make Sushi rice. Place hot rice in a wet mold neatly. Let it cool down. Turn and place on a plate.
Place sliced cucumber, Sahimi (raw fish), scrambled egg (cool downed) and herbs. Whatever you like.
Serve with Sushi-nori (seaweed for Sushi). Sing birthday song!
Place what you want on seaweed. Add the mixture of Soy sauce and Wasabi (ground Japanese Radish).
Roll, hold and bite it!
Because I’m woman, I restrain from tearing.
I’m strictly oppose to use tearing as a tool for manipulate others,
use their kindness as tool.
After I got diagnosis as breast cancer, I tried not to boost emotion, no cry.
spent time for meditation and Savasana – dead body pose
for being calm and getting clear mind.
*
Between closed eye lids tear flowed out quietly.
It cleansed emotions, cleansed fogs covering my mind.
*
When opened eyes, world became clear.
I smiled and celebrated
the beauty of tear.

Despite living in Singapore – greenish park city,
every time I come back to Bangkok, watch grayish streets from taxi window,
I feel I’m in my home town.
Staying in my home town
I’m enveloped with my friends smiles and kindness.
Gratitude to my friends
*
And also
Gratitude to the people who came to my workshops
in this unpredictable situation.
Love to see your shiny eyes
Shine from understanding.
*
*
Light a candle and pray.
Wish everyone is safe and peace
tomorrow in my home town.
