SUNDAY NIGHT, I LIE IN BED

Sunday night, I lie in bed,

tomorrow’s work will come too soon.

Saturday, I basked in warm sun.

Tonight, the wind whips round the eaves.

Though almost April,
cherry blossoms have not yet formed.

Spring seems to be elusive.

I think of a day two springs ago,

hold the memory tight lest it blow away. 

MEDITATION

Silence soft in prayer-clasped hands—peace settles.

Release nettled thoughts and

sift away time’s dull demands.

Worries, naught but grains of sand.

FORTUNES 2014: FEBRUARY

You will have a pleasant trip.

You are careful and systematic in your business arrangements.

Wish you happiness.

You look happy and proud.

You will travel far and wide for both pleasure and business.

Your heart is pure, and your mind clear, and soul devout.

Your charming smile is attracting everyone around you.
