The Stick Wand

The boy walked along the straight and flat train road. He wouldn't get lost as the railways are straight and flat so he  could walk along the lines  from one station to the next  and the next till  at last it took him to the next station till getting to the end.lt will get him to other areas ,city or town . What an adventure! 

On his way of the daydream trip ,he saw a stick laid on the stones of the railways part  when his eyes caught the appealing object ,he bent and picked it up'.It's a   like magical wand, !'  he thought. At least it 'd become a loyal friend for him to carry anywhere he left .The stick was made of wood and well  painted by blue , white and red with the face of a cute little Chinese child with those  slanted eyes. He will be his friend, he will take him to sleep and go wherever he goes. The owner must have been a small child  of 4 or 5 years old. But not Chinese. China has a lot of many kinds of  products. The kid threw away the umbrella because it was broken? Maybe she was a little girl  . No boy likes umbrella..usually it's little girl who like it .But he didn't think more of it .He just enjoying the feeling of having the stick ..mmm.the wand ! Yeah ..yeah ..a stick wand !!! It's really great .Little Ashby .Full of imagination and cares to his environment and surrounding . That's how he grew up and being adult .Visiting,greeting those forgotten ones ..

Thinking of the stick wand , perhaps each one has it in different forms and minds..as life needs kinda magical power ..

The afternoon sun fell on the cemetery which was built decades ago. Some of the graves were dismantled and then moved to other graves. There were also some that had just arrived to be buried immediately.The grave guard who works there has just started working today. She was  a middle-aged widow who has lost her fear of cemeteries and the dead.True ,the entrance of the cemetery even had some bones scattered to be cleaned .Those maybe wasted of very old unknown and forgotten  bones of unknown people who has been dead long ago.

Ashby thought the reason was, that she had experienced a lot in her life's journey and was ready to die herself at any moment. This morning she just cleaned her little house first in the corner of the garden in the north of the cemetery.

Before going away he was visiting her and giving something as support and , help and respect to her devotional work .He handed her a few boxes of food ,some tools for gardening and house appliances and kitchen and clothes .

Now the stick has worked for him in reaching out to see the world.

The immigration officers in uniform were moving  back and forth with the serious look . Their bright complexion ,big eyes and big deep voice were distinguishable .They treated him a bit higher respect and care more than to others." Have a nice stay! "They said after giving a seal on his form before leaving the airport.

Lobelia stepped in the third floor of the cinema.It's past midnight.People come more and more at the weekend.She saw plenty of women put on such fashionable attires .The colors were like flowers in botany parks.Orange ..red .. yellow..black tight trousers,mini and midi skirts.Some looks cold or joyous.Or just having fun getting bored at home .

There's a guy in jeans who sat over there .He was not so good looking or elegant but something attracted her a lot .He got such softness in his eyes .In overall he was attractive.Lobelia really wanna know him .But she was not an aggressive type .

So at the first 5 minutes of the movie made her lost concentration.She can not connect the story with her mind  as she still thought about the guy . 

When Ashby arrived? Her mind was like branches of trees without roots..

Yep..

Physical health is a big bridge to bliss.

With that you can enjoy simple lovely things such  as watering plants ,greeting a garbage man,feeling the coolness of water when you drink it up,and so on

Ah,what a beautiful life  ,and health is so important  !

With sickness ..you can not think of anything else except how to get rid of the pain..

That's why...patience is the only way to endure it..They who get lots of respects from people think they don't deserve disagreement,it is weakness ,as applauses weaken ,actually they should be stand still and  open minded,

That's should be the  quality of the public figures yes ,thankfulness multiply the bless Yep,liking applauses of  audience who open their mouth because they admire their  statements or knowledge' s displays  when that come as challengers so that  they seek comfort of agreement from those easy followers  .Lots of women become stuff to advertise for  lots of things. Many of them  reading  lips  of smiles and fake  praises not in mind  so the leaders get benefit for voting on the elections . Politicians used celebs to attract followers as many as possible. Mostly  beautiful pictures  presented  for the Master to be used as tools to get the public supports as voters .

 

He then  reread a poem he wrote himself, 

"You see that l'm old but l walk like a toddler

Trying all the way to reach You

It's so hard..

Cobblestone

Sandy

Windy

Heat

Jungle

River

Ditch

But l will not give up

I will walk or crawl

To get near You

To meet my real Lover. .. "

He smiled and thought about what a contradictory lifespan and lines beetween politicians and poets ! Silent for them is hiding their plan,shooting their power at the deadly preys and enjoying the crime as a pleasant game...This is what they want  ...The madness of some cultures to keep their wealth stay and  safe in their own people and circle as elites .

But for  poets ,silence is a best friend for pondering of what life is .. Politicians used the mass for gaining fame ,power and wealth while poets ...to care with love and care in their minds and souls..
