Pipilotti Rist
Swiss, b. 1962
Selfless in the Bath of Lava
Selbstlos im Lavabad is comprised of a small video embedded in a hole on the floor. In the video, the artist swims nude in an incandescent lava bath and cries out “I am a worm and you are a flower!” and "Help" in various languages. Rist's site-specific installation near the entrance to MoMA PS1's iconic building welcomes visitors with a combined sense of surprise, urgency, and absurdity.

Gerard de Lairesse (1641 - 1711), among other things active in Liege, Utrecht and Amsterdam
Antiochus and Stratonike, 1676
Oil on canvas
Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe
This by the description and praise of Johann Joachim Winckelmann already in the 18th century famous picture tells an ancient story. The Syrian prince Antioches had been unhappily fallen in love with his young stepmother Stratonike and as a result he became ill. The doctor Erasistratos identified the cause of his suffering. He told this the old king Seleucus, who then selflessly handed over wife and kingdom to his son. Karoline Luise acquired the painting in 1769 at the price of 6,000 livres. It was thus one of the three most expensive paintings of her collection.

Dieses schon im 18. Jahrhundert durch die Beschreibung und das Lob von Johann Joachim Winckelmann berühmte Bild erzählt eine antike Geschichte. Der syrische Königssohn Antioches hatte sich unglücklich in seine junge Stiefmutter Stratonike verliebt und war daran schwer erkrankt. Der Arzt Erasistratos erkannt den Grund des Leiddens. Er teilte diesen dem alten König Seleukos mit, der daraufhin seinem Sohn selbstlos Frau und Königreich übergab. Karoline Luise erwarb das Gemälde 1769 zum Preis von 6000 Livres. Es gehörte damit zu den drei teuersten Bildern ihrer Sammlung.
Collection
The foundation of the collection consists of 205 mostly French and Dutch paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries which Margravine Karoline Luise acquired 1759-1776. From this collection originate significant works, such as The portrait of a young man by Frans van Mieris the Elder, The winter landscape with lime kiln of Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, The Lacemaker by Gerard Dou, the Still Life with hunting equipment and dead partridge of Willem van Aelst, The Peace in the Chicken yard by Melchior de Hondecoeter as well as a self-portrait by Rembrandt van Rijn. In addition, four still lifes of Jean Siméon Chardin and two pastoral scenes by François Boucher, having been commissioned directly by the Marchioness from artists.
A first significant expansion the museum received in 1858 by the collection of canon Johann Baptist von Hirscher (1788-1865) with works of religious art of the 15th and 16th centuries. This group includes works such as two tablets of the Sterzinger altar and the wing fragment The sacramental blessing of Bartholomew Zeitblom. From 1899 to 1920, the native of Baden painter Hans Thoma held the position of Director of the Kunsthalle. He acquired old masterly paintings as the tauberbischofsheim altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald and drove the expansion of the collection with art of the 19th century forward. Only his successors expanded the holdings of the Art Gallery with works of Impressionism and the following generations of artists.
The permanent exhibition in the main building includes approximately 800 paintings and sculptures. Among the outstanding works of art of the Department German painters of the late Gothic and Renaissance are the Christ as Man of Sorrows by Albrecht Dürer, the Carrying of the Cross and the Crucifixion by Matthias Grünewald, Maria with the Child by Lucas Cranach the Elder, the portrait of Sebastian Brant by Hans Burgkmair the elder and The Nativity of Hans Baldung. Whose Margrave panel due to property disputes in 2006 made it in the headlines and also led to political conflicts. One of the biggest buying successes which a German museum in the postwar period was able to land concerns the successive acquisition of six of the seven known pieces of a Passion altar in 1450 - the notname of the artist after this work "Master of the Karlsruhe Passion" - a seventh piece is located in German public ownership (Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne).
In the department of Dutch and Flemish paintings of the 16th century can be found, in addition to the aforementioned works, the portrait of the Marchesa Veronica Spinola Doria by Peter Paul Rubens, Moses strikes the rock and water flows for the thirsty people of Israel of Jacob Jordaens, the still life with kitchen tools and foods of Frans Snyders, the village festival of David Teniers the younger, the still life with lemon, oranges and filled clay pot by Willem Kalf, a Young couple having breakfast by Gabriel Metsu, in the bedroom of Pieter de Hooch, the great group of trees at the waterfront of Jacob Izaaksoon van Ruisdael, a river landscape with a milkmaid of Aelbert Jacobsz. Cuyp as well as a trompe-l'œil still life of Samuel van Hoogstraten.
Further examples of French paintings of the 17th and 18th centuries are, the adoration of the golden calf of Claude Lorrain, preparations for dance class of the Le Nain brothers, the portrait of Marshal Charles-Auguste de Matignon by Hyacinthe Rigaud, the portrait of a young nobleman in hunting costume of Nicolas de Largillière, The storm of Claude Joseph Vernet and The minuet of Nicolas Lancret. From the 19th century can be found with Rocky wooded valley at Civita Castellana by Gustave Courbet, The Lamentation of Eugène Delacroix, the children portrait Le petit Lange of Édouard Manet, the portrait of Madame Jeantaud by Edgar Degas, the landscape June morning near Pontoise by Camille Pissarro, homes in Le Pouldu Paul Gauguin and views to the sea at L'Estaque by Paul Cézanne further works of French artists at Kunsthalle.
One focus of the collection is the German painting and sculpture of the 19th century. From Joseph Anton Koch, the Kunsthalle possesses a Heroic landscape with rainbow, from Georg Friedrich Kersting the painting The painter Gerhard Kügelgen in his studio, from Caspar David Friedrich the landscape rocky reef on the sea beach and from Karl Blechen view to the Monastery of Santa Scolastica. Other important works of this department are the disruption of Adolph Menzel as well as the young self-portrait, the portrait Nanna Risi and The Banquet of Plato of Anselm Feuerbach.
For the presentation of the complex of oeuvres by Hans Thoma, a whole wing in 1909 at the Kunsthalle was installed. Main oeuvres of the arts are, for example, the genre picture The siblings as well as, created on behalf of the grand-ducal family, Thoma Chapel with its religious themes.
Of the German contemporaries of Hans Thoma, Max Liebermann on the beach of Noordwijk and Lovis Corinth with a portrait of his wife in the museum are represented. Furthermore the Kunsthalle owns works by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, Carl Spitzweg, Arnold Böcklin, Hans von Marées, Wilhelm Leibl, Fritz von Uhde, Wilhelm Trübner and Max Klinger.
In the building of the adjacent Orangerie works of the collection and new acquisitions from the years after 1952 can be seen. In two integrated graphics cabinets the Kupferstichkabinett (gallery of prints) gives insight into its inventory of contemporary art on paper. From the period after 1945, the works Arabs with footprints by Jean Dubuffet, Sponge Relief RE 48; Sol. 1960 by Yves Klein, Honoring the square: Yellow center of Josef Albers, the cityscape F by Gerhard Richter and the Fixe idea by Georg Baselitz in the Kunsthalle.

Sammlung
Den Grundstock der Sammlung bilden 205 meist französische und niederländische Gemälde des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts, welche Markgräfin Karoline Luise zwischen 1759 und 1776 erwarb.

Zu dieser Gruppe gehören Werke wie zwei Tafeln des Sterzinger Altars und das Flügelfragment Der sakramentale Segen von Bartholomäus Zeitblom. Von 1899 bis 1920 bekleidete der aus Baden stammende Maler Hans Thoma die Position des Direktors der Kunsthalle.

Jahrhundert finden sich mit Felsiges Waldtal bei Cività Castellana von Gustave Courbet, Die Beweinung Christi von Eugène Delacroix, dem Kinderbildnis Le petit Lange von Édouard Manet, dem Bildnis der Madame Jeantaud von Edgar Degas, dem Landschaftsbild Junimorgen bei Pontoise von Camille Pissarro, Häuser in Le Pouldu von Paul Gauguin und Blick auf das Meer bei L’Estaque von Paul Cézanne weitere Arbeiten französischer Künstler in der Kunsthalle.

Von Joseph Anton Koch besitzt die Kunsthalle eine Heroische Landschaft mit Regenbogen, von Georg Friedrich Kersting das Gemälde Der Maler Gerhard Kügelgen in seinem Atelier, von Caspar David Friedrich das Landschaftsbild Felsenriff am Meeresstrand und von Karl Blechen den Blick auf das Kloster Santa Scolastica. Weitere bedeutende Werke dieser Abteilung sind Die Störung von Adolph Menzel sowie das Jugendliche Selbstbildnis, das Bildnis Nanna Risi und Das Gastmahl des Plato von Anselm Feuerbach.
Für die Präsentation des Werkkomplexes von Hans Thoma wurde 1909 in der Kunsthalle ein ganzer Gebäudetrakt errichtet. Hauptwerke des Künstlers sind etwa das Genrebild Die Geschwister sowie die, im Auftrag der großherzöglichen Familie geschaffene, Thoma-Kapelle mit ihren religiösen Themen.

The hero driver of sunken MV Our Lady of Mount Carmel who saved some of its passengers was feted in the Senate Monday afternoon by Sen. Ralph G. Recto. Recto said the selfless act of Novelito “Junjun” Gomez was exemplary and serves as a notice of the Filipino’s unwavering bravery. “I wish to do what you’ve done should I find myself in the same situation,” the senator said, who personally sought a personal meeting with Gomez. Recto said the likes of Gomez, who are ready to put their lives on the line to save their fellow countrymen, were becoming a rarity. The senator promised Gomez to help him look for another driving job. Gomez, a 31-year old native Bicolano, said he just wanted to save more during that fateful early morning. He regretted failing to bring to safety one of the senior passengers who perished from the sinking of the RoRo vessel. “One of the older passengers panicked, jumped and hit the railing which caused her death,” Gomez told the senator at his Senate office. Gomez was one of the drivers of the bus that was on the vessel when it sank off Burias Island. When the ship was going down very fast, he first woke up his fellow driver, Joey Lopez. Gomez said he immediately thought of saving his friend Lopez, who does not know how to swim. “I went to where he was sleeping and swiftly plucked him out of the bus that was already half-submerged in seawater. I did not know how I was able to pull him up since he was taller and heavier than me,” Gomez told an earlier radio interview. Carol Tan, a passenger, said it was Gomez who told her to stay put and that everything would turn out fine. “While I was already very frantic because the ship was sinking very fast, this man came to my rescue and told me to calm down. He asked me to follow him in climbing the still floating portion of the ship,” Tan said. Gomez also quickly grabbed seven-month-old Kyle Toquero, who nearly drowned in the ship cabin. He handed the baby to a lady doctor who was aboard the ferry. Sensing that the ship would soon totally sink, Gomez jumped into the hanging life jackets and lifeboats, quickly untied them then threw them to the passengers. “He was so composed yet quick in doing what he had to do. He even assured us to stay relaxed and we will be all alive. That we will simply stay floating and the rescuers would soon arrive,” a survivor said. Gomez said he herded the passengers to the rear portion of the ship because it would be the last to sink. “The ship shook as if it hit a solid object, then we saw its front already sinking and tilting to the left,” Gomez said. Two people died in the sea accident off Burias Island in Masbate two Fridays ago, while seven remained missing. Gomez admitted that his experiences while he was still a fisherman in Sorsogon guided him on what to do when he saw that the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel was about to go under. “I was often placed in this kind of situation when I was still a fisherman. I learned that staying composed during emergencies will help you survive,” Gomez said. A native of Bulan, Sorsogon, Gomez said he also frequently crosses the turbulent Ticao Pass, a famous dive site which is said to have strong currents, to visit the relatives of his mother in Ticao Island.

Missouri City partnered with Stafford recently to pay tribute to the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and to honor the selfless firefighters, police officers and military personnel who defended the nation on and after that fateful day.
During the solemn commemoration on Protector's Plaza at Public Safety Headquarters, about 100 people gathered on a clear Sunday morning to salute the fallen, show their support for the cities' Fire and Police Departments and to hear Patriot Day remarks from local, state and national officials. Fire trucks from Missouri City and Stafford extended their ladders to form a platform that displayed Old Glory high above the crowd as a reminder of how the nation came together 10 years ago when terrorists hijacked four U.S. planes-two were crashed into the World Trade Center towers, one into a Pentagon building in Washington, D.C., and heroic passengers and crew took control of the fourth plane crashing it into a Pennsylvania field and preventing an attack on the U.S. Capitol building.
The Missouri City Police Department Honor Guard presented the colors as a firefighter rang a bell to mark the sacrifice of firefighters who rushed into the Twin Towers to save those trapped inside the burning structures.
Fire Chief Russell Sander shared the significance of ringing the bell: "The tolling of the bell is a long tradition. When a firefighter was killed in the line of duty, a special signal would be tapped out-five measured dashes, pause, five measured dashes, followed by another pause, and five measured dashes. All the station houses in the area could hear the sign of honor and respect for firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice."
Sander also recognized the firefighters who lost their lives on 9/11 and emphasized the dedication of the profession: "We aspire to come to the aid of others when no one else will. A word that is often used in the fire service is honor. It means respect or esteem. Today we gather to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice on that horrible day."
Mayor Allen Owen read a proclamation honoring the nearly 3,000 people who died on Sept. 11, 2001. He told the audience: "It's fitting that we are here this morning at this plaza and standing here at a statue called the protector because that's exactly what many of those people who lost their lives were doing that day. Not taking their own lives into consideration but trying to save as many people as they could by rushing into the burning buildings into harm's way."
State Rep. Ron Reynolds also read a proclamation from the State Legislature, and presented a flag that had been flown over the Texas Capitol in Austin to Mayor Owen and Fire Chief Russell Sander and Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald. "This is in memory of those who gave their lives-firefighters, police officers, emergency medical responders-and those ordinary citizens such as you who gave a little extra and made an extraordinary sacrifice for our country to come together," Reynolds told the audience.
Congressman Al Green told the supporters that everyone is given "a watch" on this Earth. He went on to explain that the passengers on flight 93 overtook the hijackers when it was "their watch", and added "a nation will be eternally grateful" for their actions.
Congressman Pete Olson recounted the day 10 years ago when he was driving to work at the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C., where he worked for former U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm. According to Olson, he, like many others, didn't realize the nation was under attack until he heard about the second plane that crashed into the second tower in New York. Olson also paid tribute to the passengers onboard Flight 93.
"When their plane got hijacked, they went 'Texan'," he said. "They tried to storm the cockpit and nobody knew what went on in there, but we do know the plane did not make it to its destination, the U.S. Capitol."
And, Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald reminded the supporters about how the nation came together on 9/11. "For just one day, set aside your differences, set aside the squabbles, and substitute that for the sense of patriotism we all knew on that fateful day in September, 2001. Ten years later, we have gotten back to normal but that's the same normal that makes us one, that same normal that makes us a great nation."
After a 21-gun salute, the Honor Guard retired the colors.
In a separate commemoration later in day, about 150 people turned out for a ceremony held by the Missouri City VFW Post 4010 & Ladies Auxiliary and the VFW Motorcycle Group Unit 1. The organization's tribute honored the firefighters, police officers, military personnel and citizens who sacrificed their lives to protect the nation ten years ago. They also paid tribute to military personnel who have served overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Dulles High School JROTC presented the colors, Mayor Allen Owen presented the VFW Post with a City Proclamation and State Rep. Ron Reynolds presented a State Proclamation to recognize the firefighters, police officers and others who gave their lives in the terrorist attacks. Congressman Pete Olson, Chief Joel Fitzgerald and Chief Russell Sander also addressed the assembly of veterans and their families, public safety officials and residents in attendance.

The people of Wicklow were very involved in the building of this Gothic style Church, local farmers drew the stone from the quarries and sailors transported limestone from Skerries, County Dublin. The Fitzwilliam family generously presented the site for the new Church to the Parish. In addition to the selfless generosity of the townspeople, contributions were received from Dublin, Wexford and England. Regretfully no knowledge exists of the architect or the builder of the Church.
The Foundation Stone was laid in 1840. Archbishop of Dublin, Daniel Murray in the presence of a large and distinguished congregation celebrated the first Mass in ‘St. Patrick’s Church’ on Sunday, October 13. 1844. The High Altar of Caen stone was erected to the memory of Archdeacon Grant whose mortal remains together with those of his successor Father Patrick O’ Doherty (1864-76) rest in the vault in front of the high altar. The event for which Fr. O’ Doherty, is best remembered, and for which the parish will be forever indebted to him is the bringing of the Dominican Community to Wicklow. The Church Organ is dedicated to his memory.
The Bell is one of the finest in Ireland, of a rich mellow tone, and can be heard fully five miles away. It weighs four tonnes and was installed on November 24th 1889 by V. Rev. William Canon Dillon PP (1880-94). The tone of the Dublin made bell has been compared with that of another four-ton bell in the Basilica of St. John in Lateran, Rome. It was brought from the railway station to the Abbey corner on a gun carriage, which was borrowed from the Militia. From there it was pulled with ropes by the townspeople to the foot of its final destination.
Stained Glass Windows Four of the church windows are of stained glass. The windows over the side altars show Our Lady and St. Patrick. Particular mention should be made of the corresponding window in the west transept, from the Harry Clarke studio which, in the setting sun of evening, depicts in spectacular beauty the Birth of Christ. The Presbytery, which can be seen to the left of the church was destroyed by fire in 1930 and was rebuilt immediately afterwards. The original building dates from 1890.
In more modern times, ongoing development, restoration and where necessary modernisation of the Church and its environs continues. During the incumbency of Fr. Matthew Blake (1949-59) a major redevelopment of the church grounds took place, together with the building of the shrine to Our Blessed Lady marking the Marian Year of 1954. The narrow pedestrian entrance to the grounds with a steep flight of steps at the Chapel Hill was replaced with several more gradual flights of wider steps. The environs of the Church were re-landscaped opening new vistas of the Church. A wide and more open entrance was constructed opposite the old church with additional car parking provided in the church grounds. The first modern sound system was installed in St. Patrick’s during this period.
With the transition from the Latin Mass to the Vernacular, facilitating and encouraging more participation of the congregation came also a change in altar style. Instead of erecting a modern altar table as many churches did. Canon Anthony Crinion, Parish Priest (1970-83) had the magnificent altar skilfully divided and the table section moved forward. The furnishing of the surrounds of the high altar was completed only two years ago when Fr. Francis McDonnell Parish Priest, (1997-2005) had a new Ambo and Presidential Chair constructed in the style of the altar.

Giving selflessly & anonymously, radiating light & illuminating your own darkness, your virtue becomes a sanctuary for yourself & all beings'. ~ Lao Tsu
Three Truths
#1 Emptiness (Transcendence): Reality in its absolute aspect, which transcends all barriers and divisions of reality into the independent existence of any substantial ‘self’ or ‘other’. In being beyond all such barriers or divisions, the absolute ‘thusness’ of reality is likened to empty space. In understanding emptiness (S. Sunyata) one transcends the duality of cause vs. effect, karma vs. retribution, Life & Death vs. Nirvana, self vs. selflessness, existence vs. non-existence and the all other apparent dualities and contradictions whose reality is an illusion caused by the very duality of own perspective. All material things, all feelings, all thoughts, and all elements of reality only exist temporarily as a result of the matrix of causality and conditions and their seeming independent ‘self’ existence is but an illusion. Awakening to emptiness is the dialectical process of ever transcending the limitations of our understanding of the great all-inclusive Nirvana. This dialectic transcends all things material, emotional, mental & spiritual, and resolves all dualities and contradictions into a higher synthesis. From a negative aspect, emptiness is seen as the refuting and breaking down of all things, breaking through all limitations and entering into the absolute reality as-it-is, which is ineffable and transcendental. From a positive aspect, emptiness is seen to be the source of all things; it is potentiality.
#2 That Which is Temporary and Provisional: Reality in its mundane aspect. Everything has temporary provisional existence, even the idea of emptiness itself as far as we can know it. That which is temporary can be seen as actuality as opposed to potentiality. In properly understanding that which is temporary, one does not merely transcend the duality of Life & Death vs. Nirvana, etc., but recognizes the correct relationship between them. Emptiness and existence, self and selflessness, Life & Death and Nirvana, and all the different aspects of reality (dharmas) are that which is temporary and provisional, like the two sides of a coin. In being ‘provisional’ they are to be used in temporary service to the Buddha, that is, to enlighten living beings. In other words, they are the Buddha’s ‘provisions’ (the Buddha’s ‘wealth’), that which the Buddha uses in the work of enlightenment. With an understanding of emptiness one reenters the temporary realm of Life & Death with compassion to bring happiness, freedom and enlightenment to those in suffering, bondage and darkness. To do this must learn of the limitless different desires, natures, and capacities of living beings and the countless way and means available to adapt the Dharma to help enlighten them. This is a higher level of the dialectical process than merely transcending the dualities. This is the Bodhisattva Path.
#3 The Highest Significance of the Middle Way: This is the true spiritual aspect of reality. The absolute is inherent in the mundane and the mundane is inseparable from the absolute. In properly understanding their inseparable nature there is the revelation of their ultimate purpose, which is the will of the Buddha. This is the manifestation of the joy, liberation and spiritual enlightenment that is inherent in all things and in all living beings. It may be likened to the Lotus Blossom that rises up from the mud of the swamp (this mortal realm of Life & Death) and aspires to the illumination of the sun (Nirvana or Enlightenment).
Taken apart, these three appear to be static concepts. When understood simultaneously by the single mind they are not static concepts, but the living reality of enlightenment. It is, at the same time, both as infinitely deep and profound as the eternity of empty space and as ordinary and commonplace as any routine event in one’s day to day existence.

Get Pushed! challenge entry.
This Get Pushed! I was partnered up with pony.rojo
Here was my push from him
"I want you to do still life as a selfless self-portait.
First, I wanted you to do a still life because I see you reacting to the things and people around you, which is great. But, I wanted to see more of you actually controlling the scene from start to finish. Still lifes are great for this. You are making all the choices; lighting, composition, color.
And, when I say "selfless self-portrait", I want you to include no less than five items (could be more, but be careful it doesn't get too cluttered) that represent who you are. Things that interest you, something from an event that had a lot of meaning for you."
So while not exactly as I intended at first, my self portrait still life evolved into this. A picture in a picture.
I have a shot of my Hasselblad (1) lying on top of my Buff (2) which I use whenever riding motorcycles and bicycles. The camera is using my motorcycle gloves as a stand but that can't be seen in the shot.
The camera has in focus a piggy bank (3) with a backdrop made by a collection on my neckties (4) on one side and books (5) on the other. The bunny of course, representing my desire to never take myself too seriously, and never forget to reserve time for playing.
The biggest difficulty in this shot was how little DOF there is on a wide open 80mm lens on the Hasselblad, and getting it to stop moving once I have it framed right.
Thanks for the fun push

For all those times you stood by me .. For all the truth that you made me see .. For all the joy you brought to my life .. For all the wrong that you made right .. For every dream you made come true .. For all the love I found in you ..
You were my strength when I was weak .. You were my voice when I couldn't speak .. You were my eyes when I couldn't see .. You saw the best there was in me .. Lifted me up when I couldn't reach .. You gave me faith 'coz you believed .. I'm everything I am .. Because you loved me !
You were always there for me .. The tender wind that carried me .. A light in the dark shining your love into my life .. You've been my inspiration .. Through the lies you were the truth .. MY WORLD IS A BETTER PLACE BECAUSE OF YOU !
In your arms .. I can still feel the way you want me, when you hold me, I can still hear the words you whispered. When you told me, I can stay right here forever in your arms ..
And there aren't no way, I'm letting you go now.
'Cause I'm keeping you forever and for always. We will be together all of our day, wanna wake up every morning to see your sweet face ..
In your heart I can still hear a beat for every time you kiss me. And when we're apart, I know how much you miss me. I can feel your love for me in your heart !
In your eyes, I can still see the look of the one who really loves me, I can still feel the way that you want ..
The one who wouldn't put anything else in the world above me. I can still see love for me in your eyes !
I think I love you ! So what am I so afraid of? I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for.
I think I love you ! Isn't that what life is made of? Though it worries me to say "I've never felt this way"
Believe me ! You really don't have to worry, I only want to make you happy. And if you say, "Hey, go away!" ... I will !
But I think I'd better still stay around and love you ...
Everyday I caught myself smiling for no reason, and then I realized that I was thinking about you ..
Every morning when I get up, the 1st person I think about is You ..
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they must be felt by heart. Being with you, you teach me how to feel them completely ..
Everyday I love you more, today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow ..
Above all, I just wanna say that I LOVE YOU, DARLING ! ♥
Yours,
YuanPuh.
