Memorial – 21st March 2022

We remember you in your brief outing
Though not so many kind words were spoke
But your existence did give others context
As we remember the words of this dead joke

Inspired by the story of a stool, Adam, on which sit comedians in a comedy club. The stool ponders the death of a joke onstage. From the fun ‘Everything Is Alive‘ podcast.


If we only wanted to be happy, it would be easy; but we want to be happier than other people, and that is almost always difficult, since we think them happier than they are.

I am so happy and grateful that the strawberry sellers were still there yesterday. I got two big bags for 40 baht.

Go Deeper – 17th February 2022

Stepping into traffic is a foolish test
There’s too many variables to control
A longer vision would be for the best
And more satisfying for the soul
Instant reward carries too much risk
All can be lost on a second spin
Life is a long time to exist
And goodness lies deep within


We receive three educations, one from our parents, one from our school masters and one from the world. The third contradicts all that the first two teach us.

I am so happy and grateful that I have no classes for the next two days and should be able to find some free time for myself.
