"Ni mai shenme dongxi?"
(What are you going to buy)
The lady at the store asks me
This comes after many minutes of being followed.......
I should be used to this by now
I think to myself

From your mouth to G-D's ear
I didn't realize the meaning was so clear
Another roadblock placed in my way,
I seem to be having a streak of bad luck I say
To my friend
Who turns to me and says

A sleepless night grips me at my core
Facing a reality that shakes me at the deepest level
I'm shaken out of the dream that was me
A deep sense of loss
I feel sorry
To leave the past behind

Frozen in a vast space full of questions
Stuck in past experiences that won’t go away
Wondering whether my path is the right one
Spirituality entombs my curiosity but awakens my creativity
