letter days 1
-----------------------------------------------------------------

a little note gathered from 01A01...
thanks cuili, for the poem


-----------------------------------------------

There were places you brought me to.


A hillside,


a shade under a tree,


a quieter path.


Any always,

I find what I am looking for.

Dear Mr Koh, the poem is written for you. I hope you are doing fine in Australia. I was talking to some Danish classmates of mine and it seems like THE destination to go right now is Australia, especially for young backpackers, who work as they travel. Of course I thought about you when Australia was mentioned. November is coming to an end and soon it will be the end of December. If I forget to wish you a Merry Christmas (because I will be away) I will do that in advance today. And I truly wish you all the wonderful days until the end of the year. I am already making a list of the 'long-lost' friends that I missed while I am here, and I want to meet up with them all when I return! Chestnutmare.

missing the distance

and reclaiming

the memory between


friends & families,

or classmates, pupils and colleagues,

next to many others

rewriting our

kinship from the start...

Continue to enjoy your time in Copenhagen! you won't repeat your time there, ever again. btw, the poem is 'quintessentially you' as much as it has been about me on the teaching journey...about australia, yes, i just came back from a campervan trip to tasmania and the pictures will be up soon. just need more time to compose them. for now, i have to clear up to 132 load of junk and proper emails. somebody please remind me to pop a vacation message next time. my sincere apologies to those who will be receiving a delay in replies...
