"Life has no coincidences. We don't get to choose the lessons as they choose us. There are times I come to a crossroad and some godsent would show me the way. This website contains my heartfelt gratitude for all the precious lessons I have been taught and have learnt. The more I learn, the more I find out that I know very little. As time matures, I really end up not having anything to say that I feel is profound enough to be read. Having people read the stuff I write sometimes feel like a heavy weight of responsibilities. My thoughts may sometimes mean a lot when one may be in a juncture to seek for answers but it is not a pinnacle of the truth. Let's go in one direction of progression and help all around us gain a better understanding to lead a purposeful, meaningful life. Do not in any sense think that we have the power to lead others to enlightenment for we are only a serving tool for a greater good. Everything about our achievements are impermanent so it would be better to give the credits to our good fortune - the fact that we have an affinity to be drawn towards collective goodness is plain good fortune! And never let it down, our aspirations to be our best for others." Poesy.

Reflection of Today - poem by Poesy
"Probability of 1 today = 1000 tomorrows. Half a mistake a hundred sorrows. Time consistently brims up choices. To be made among clanging noises. No sure win situation? 1% inspiration 99% perspiration. Every angle lends a separate hue of day. A colorless debt it cannot repay. Visions improve with quiet reflection. Complaints regrets define incomprehension. Churn the secular knowledge one borrows. Todays are infinite spectrum of tomorrows."
The original poem title is "Reflection of OGGI". Definition of OGGI means TODAY in Italian. This poem was written in 2001 by Poesy in conjunction with a piece of art screen that she depicted for a Four Seasons Hotel restaurant - also named OGGI. Poesy was commissioned to help with the interior of OGGI. The piece of art screen was on display there, at the The Regent, Kuala Lumpur from 2001-2007. The hotel has since changed its' name to Millenia.
Quote
"To laugh often and much: To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise & haste, & remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others; even the dull & ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud & aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain & bitter; for always there will be greater & lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well your plans. Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for the face of all aridity & disenchantment it is perennial as grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe; no less than the trees & the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. FOUND IN OLD SAINT PAUL'S CHURCH BALTIMORE YEAR 1892
