Jesus,
Do you know why I can write quite well?
Because my mind is quite empty.
My mind is empty
because I read less;
or if I read,
I’ll forget things I read.
I can write well
because my words come from the empty mind.
If my mind is full of words of others,
my writing is full of words of others.
So the writing is not mine and it’s bad.
The empty mind helps me create.
So my writings are unique.
My ideas can be the same as those of others
but my writings are unique.
And it’s art.
Art is creation and uniqueness.
Interesting, Jesus?
The career path is also the Zen path.
All thanks to you, Jesus.
I love you.
Amen.

Tackling war legacies has required both time and efforts that neither Hanoi nor Washington have been reluctant to do over the past decades, making the relationship a case study of foe-turned-friend.
On March 26, 2019, a landmark event held in Washington D.C titled “Overcoming War Legacies: The Road to Reconciliation and Future Cooperation between the United States and Vietnam” explored cooperative efforts and lessons learned from the building of a strong US-Vietnam partnership.
Jesus,
Where are you?
Please give me the feeling you are with me.
…
Please manage my life.
I can’t manage it well.
I don’t know how to use my life at best.
Please take my life
and use it.
Amen.

Jesus,
Clothing is a language.
True.
If a lady wants to be treated like a lady,
she should dress as a lady.
I think
gender inequality in our country could be reduced
if our women dress as ladies
and of course, if they act as ladies. Continue reading Prayer 618

Jesus,
We never have much money
but we always enjoy life.
Remember when we only had 20.000 đồng in one day?
We drank an 8.000 đồng coffee cup.
Then when a lottery ticket seller came,
we bought for her a 10.000 đồng ticket.
So we still had 2.000 đồng left. Continue reading Prayer 616
