Today I call it RESPECT.

Today I call it SIMPLICITY.

Today I call this connection WISDOM OF THE HEART.

We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born.
Today I know THAT IS LIFE!
我們不再需要害怕與自己或他人爭論、對抗或任何類型的問題。甚至恆星也會發生碰撞,並從碰撞中誕生新的世界。今天我知道了「這就是人生」!-
