The Eleventh Character: The Girl Who Exchanges Almost Everything (Part six)

(In response to 10 characters of Ilya Kabakov)

"Memories are nothing more than fragments in the past, some pieces must be missed in someone else's place...", she thought. Only if she can keep exchanging her memories, may be, one day, just one day, she can see the whole picture, someday..."

The Eleventh Character: The Girl Who Exchanges Almost Everything (Part five)

(In response to 10 characters of Ilya Kabakov)

As times goes by, she finds herself keeping missing The Man Who Flew Into Space. Sometimes, she has a strong feeling that she might be able to meet him right in Brighton, or at least someone who feels like him. The irony is: the more she wants to forget, the more she reminds herself. All the impressive happiness became the source of tears in her eyes. Before she can understand why, she could find her eyes filled with sudden tears...

Chinese Friendship

When you think of the most friendly nation, probably chinese won't pop up from you mind immediately...To be honest, it could be not easy to make friend with a typical chinese. But once a strong friendship is built, it actually tends to be strong in both strength and length. Don't believe? look at these two passages:


CHINESE OATH OF FRIENDSHIP

I want to be your friend
For ever and ever without break or decay.
When the hills are all flat
And the rivers are all dry,
When it lightens and thunders in winter,
When it rains and snows in summer,
When Heaven and Earth mingle
Not till then will I part from you.

CHINESE, 1ST CENURY

---

When two people
are at one in their inmost hearts,
They shatter even
the strength of iron or bronze.
And when two people
understand each other
in their inmost hearts,
Their words
are sweet and strong,
like the fragrance of orchids.

by I CHING

Emmm...I completely agree.

No perfect person

No person can be prefect;
only God is perfect.
Therefore, a perfectionist has a fate of failure because somewhere perfect can only be entered by grace, and grace only.

Only by grace can we enter
Only by grace can we stand
Not by our human endeavor
But by the blood of the Lamb

Into Your presence You call us

You call us to come
Into Your presence You draw us
And now by Your grace we come
Now by Your grace we come

Lord, if You mark our transgressions
Who would stand?
Thanks to Your grace
We are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb...

The Eleventh Character: The Girl Who Exchanges Almost Everything (Part four)

(In response to 10 characters of Ilya Kabakov)

Perhaps, being influenced by the third neighbour: The Girl Who Revealing Secrets, she gradually becomes interested in swimming in a dilemma between hidding and revealing her feelings, her memories as well as her history. Instead of "hidding", she prefers using the words "not yet revealed", because she thinks she has too much to reveal anyway...
