Dear Papa,

Today, I was driving to work when suddenly, I thought of you.

The last few years have been difficult for me.

Where were you?

My heart started feeling empty, yet heavy.

I began to wonder if you're thinking about me too.

It's been a long while, hasn't it?

Have you been well?

Happy?

I pray so.

I know this is unexpected of me to write to you.

It's something I've never done in the past.

It's a pity that we never got a chance to be together at all.

You weren't there to hold me when Mother gave birth to

In the last few years, economy in Belqium has badly declined. In Wallonia, steel companies went out of business, as in Flanders, those making cars, as Ford, laid off a large number of their employees. In both cases, those companies were the pride of Belgium.

The minimum rate wages before income is about 1250 euros per month. To answer Expector's question, the average taxes rate is around 43% but it can go up to 70% ( for people who make A LOT of money) Most of us work the 6 first month of the y

There are many ways to celebrate birthdays. Generally they have a party and which would by attended by family or friends by inviting them to eat together at a restaurant. Convenience as the availability of a birthday cake, and other delicious food, cards, candles and all that goes to celebrate. 

Far different from them, I celebrated my birthday, staying on the bed, cell phone in my hand and I sang a birthday song to myself, remembering past years I have passed. only that ...  no special celebrat

 All that is gold

    J. R. R. Tolkien

 

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.^[

 The Huntsman by Edward Lowbury

Kagwa hunted the lion,

Through bush and forest went his spear.
One day he found the skull of a man
And said to it, "how did you come here?"
and the skull answered, "talking brought me here.'

Kagwa hurried home, Went to the king's chair and spoke,
"In the forest I found a talking skull"
The king went silent, then he said slowly,
"Never since I was born of my mother
have I seen or heard of a skull which spoke."

The king called out his guards,
"Two of you now go with him

I decided to create this pattern to challenge myself because I agree that wordiness often becomes a tomb of the idea.

The news about the Chinese boy who sold his kidney online was heard from different parts of the world. It is a sad thing but he is not to be blamed. He is merely a victim of adult people who took advantage of his immaturity.

PURITY OF LIFE

Khaliqur Rahman

Man is a queer admixture of the animal, the human and the divine. A simpler way of looking at Man is to see Man as body mind and soul. Freud sees Man as id , ego and super ego.

Then, there are the dichotomies: physical – ethereal, impure – pure and mortal – immortal .

God is one of the two opposites: ethereal, pure and immortal .

Ghalib in one of his couplets has said that the Pure cannot manifest itself without what is Impure. The glass needs a layer of mercury to refl

Photos of Belgium's capital : Brussels.

A POEM ON SPELLING & PRONUNCIATION

Author not known

I take it you already know

Of TOUGH and BOUGH and COUGH and DOUGH.

Others may stumble but not you

On HICCOUGH, THOROUGH, LOUGH and THROUGH

Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,

To learn of less familiar traps.

Beware of HEARD, a dreadful word

That looks like BEARD and sounds like BIRD

And DEAD – it’s said like BED, not BEAD.

For goodness sake, don’t call it DEED!

Watch out for MEAT and GREAT and THREAT:

They rhyme with SUITE and STRAIGHT and DEBT.

Sometimes, I feel like my fingers are about to fall off (just like now)...yet I still manage to keep on tapping my keyboard.  

But this is how I usually spend my day...and night....except when I'm playing with my kid or out running errands.

Thinking about it...I was reminded of the first time I was learning how to use the typewriter.  

I had a STENO/TYPING class back in high school.
