i hope my words are strange and wondrous,

like kisses that quiet all things superfluous,

so that we can all stop and

listen

because at 6:30 i am meeting up again with susan,

and my past and present will converge on the strangest place

the place that defines my future.

i am looking forward very much

to seeing her again,

=)

post-dinner post.

susan and i went to the Asian Bowl on Dundas Square.

i had some pretty tasty hor fun. =)

and we talked.

and it was great.

because the bilingual connection brings us back,

well, for her its all of highschool.

for me, its those days.. so long ago.

sarah,vanna,ariel,susan,shawn,joel,rayner,haijie,frank,vicky,tommy.

its been so long.

^^

its so close to my heart.

i feel refreshed.

and glad that time doesn't change everything.

but regret, that the suzhou i remember is gone forever.

once again it is a dot on the map.

a town near a city.

but what i can take with me, i have secured

in the recesses of my heart.

and remnants still find themselves in my present.

really,

im just glad.

so glad.

thankful for paths recrossing,

and cultures remerging.

in a strange city

i find myself again.
