no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed,
and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.
this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from Me

current NY state of mind
heaven meeting me
between Jersey and the sea
is New York City
fly up from decay
to de civitate Dei
the Appian Way

late have i loved You, lately Here
lately I've been feeling like
it's taken all my life to get here,
but here I am.
night is night
day is day
sleep is death
life is breath
would each next heartbeat steadily say:
it's taken years and tears to get here
but here, I Am.
it's taken all my life to get here,
but here I am.
night is night
day is day
sleep is death
life is breath
would each next heartbeat steadily say:
it's taken years and tears to get here
but here, I Am.

no more to roam
beauteous fields lie just before me
where the redeemed no more shall weep
i'm goin there to see my mother
she said she'd meet me when i come
i'm only goin over Jordan
i'm only goin to my home

hold fast your aim, by sun and star, be earnest and brave
May is Asian Pacific Heritage Month. I'm a heritage breed human.
It's a very exciting time to be Taiwanese American!
This new era for Taiwan, marked by Friday's inauguration of Madam President Tsai Ing-Wen, is a day my grandparents thought would never come. This mixture of disbelief and relief at the arrival of a New Day, a new political reality and peaceful governance, is a feeling-state I want to file away. For me, the hope was mostly inhaled, inherited, second-hand. Even so. Will It feel like this Then?
Were you watching this inauguration? Does it utterly bore you now? What kind of real-time witness do the heavens bear to the unfolding of earthly events?
Whatever economic sanctions, war, diplomatic consequences lie next on the horizon for Taiwan, for poking that big dragon across that strait and for daring to be herself, tell her own story to herself and to the world . . . remember this political moment. This brave and bold celebration.

approaching asymptotes
There are things you can’t reach. But
you can reach out to them, and all day long.
