Seeking ShangriLa

As a blardy writer recently encountering some mental blocks, Desi seeks your forbearance that I left many posts "hamgimg", which means "incomplete", like sentences that convey half thoughts, or a lover hardly able to deliver to the partner the ladder to climax because her body was there but her spirit was elsewhere. If my metaphor is rude to some readers, just don't mind me, a SH LAWRENCE gonvert at 13.

IF "hanging" preceding had an "m" instead of "n" because I am labouriously desiphering the half-worn our or compleatly wiped out lettering at the cheapest I cafe in Furong at midnight, charging only RM1 per hour; nearest rival just 100meters away in Lobak charges RM3! Methinks one boss is socilist of Desi's bent:) -- which is +++gOod -- while the Other is Capitalish, of thy bend!:( --w hihch is GOoDER said in sarcastic way.

+++ I had just explained to newfound friend I was tutoring DDC to in Blogspeak that if thou art what good means, you have the GOD in thee! "Caught it, you nit!?"

Ans the Q is rhetoric, which means I ask the Q and only I'm allowed --not you! -- to answer it, yes, you twit!

I wil seek out ShangriLa so-ON, which is a combo word in DDC, implying in it is some time in the future, and whether I deliver the baby or knot depends the midwifery training I'm undertaling; pray hard that there is no miscarriage, OK! OR WE AWE LAND UP IN MONGRELa, which can mean Desi ends up in the tummy of an animal vicoius, not virtuous like Thee, my most esteemed Reader:)

May be you feel as I once felt thus:

I REST

I rest
as
I
wait.

Time passes restlessly
as
I wait.

You make me wait
endlessly
in vain.

You're
no
friend.

My case
I
rest.

NOW repeat after Desi:

Desiderata

-- written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920s --
Not "Found in Old St. Paul's Church"! -- see below

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
