Painfully anal about the details, Henry always takes his time setting the tables.

 

Polishing the cutlery until his face reflects, and the glasses are spotless, clear as the sky. The table cloths have been dry cleaned, double pressed and perfectly laid. The perfect table is all that matters.

 

In his own mind Henry sets tables for the queen, the president or ... a fantasy ball. No matter how hard he tries, this is all pure make believe because he's got no customers at all.

 

Never the less, the tables are set. Perfect to the eye, they will be ready when called.

By Ryan Johnston-

 

They say, these things come

In waves, and they'll find you

Writing letters, from the shoreline

Or sinking, deep to the bottom

Anchored, to this sadness

That keeps you in place

Endless, are the low tides

Tangled up, in this tension

Hanging on to the bitter end

 

But once in a while

Someone will come along

Cutting the lines

And you find yourself,

Moving again,

Back to the start

And, after a while

Someone will come along

Walking through walls

And you'll find yourself

Forgetting, what it was

You built so hard, to keep out

 

But then, there were those times

What about those times?

You and I, Charting all of those sounds

Navigating around all the bends

Planning all the routes we'd take

Those days were an open ocean

 

Even moving ahead

I'm still back there

Where ideas would erupt inside you

And I was the village below

How could I help but catch fire?

And now I voyage alone

Clouds block out sunlight

In all time, darkness

 

But once in a while,

The sun will come along

Breaking the clouds,

And you find yourself,

In daylight again,

This breeze falls around us

Becoming the wind,

Where you still move me,

Even from behind

 

But then, there were those times

What about those times?

You and I, finding direction

Even in the starless sky

Pulling light from the moon

Unveiled by you

And six strings, become our compass

And moving on, moving ahead

I can't help but feel, we both lose

 

Now I voyage alone

This breeze falls all around me

And calm is like the justice

For all those who consider

This sinking, and these wasted days

A crime against, the better things

That you have been

When the doors were wide open

And the sun poured like drops of rain

Through the cracks of swollen clouds

While everyone else, was still sleeping

Accepted Student Day 3/19/16

I'm very glad that my research project for my master program is finally finished!

My topic was "the use of therapeutic photography and creative writing for the purpose of forming self-identity".

It was very much inspired by the usual Flickr activity: photos are taken/uploaded and some writings are done as captions to the photos.

I've indeed learnt a lot about the values of photography and writing and I believe the learning has benefited my photography too.

 

Thank God and everyone who has supported me in the past year.

It was a tough journey but your accompany made my life a lot easier :)

 

And now, my summer holiday begins!

Robert Gibbons Creative Writing class visits Society of Illustrators on 09_28_2012.

 

The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, students, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.

While I was driving you sat by my side

I saw the horizon gleam over your shoulder.

Summer was high, the trees waving inside

Your golden frame: the eyes of the beholder.

 

I was so tense I could not even talk

But from my throat my words were trying to rush.

Tempted to stop the car by a sidewalk

I went on driving, blinded by a blush.

 

I whispered: “It’s all to much, don’t you agree?”

Your mouth stayed closed, in its secret beam.

Our mutual thoughts entwined, over the sea:

That was my feeling then, it was my dream.

 

‘Cause words are always meaningless, and we pretend to read

The other one’s true feelings, while we echo our need.

 

(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)
