One Has to Be Brave (6/18/17)

One has to look for and embrace trouble.

It is not bravery to run towards Union.

One has to be brave on the day of separation.

Union and Separation (9/11/16)

This is the Time of Separation (5/8/16)
This is the Time of Separation (5/8/16)

Morning has come; daylight has broken out.

This is the time of separation for those who stay awake all night.

The desire for sleep has arrived,

And the eye which was our night guard has fallen asleep
