Jesus,
You know?
When I studied at University of Sciences,
two subjects I love were
molecular immunology and molecular biotechnology.
The subjects also had the highest scores, score of 10.
Do you know what I learned? Continue reading Prayer 318

A dear friend of mine recently lost her mother due to a severe stroke. My friend has been studying abroad, far away from her Mom. When my friend came home, she had about a week with her Mom before the last day. My friend never thought it was the last time she could be with her Mom.
When my friend came back to study, I came over her place, say, to comfort her, but rather to listen and share her suffering. I was not sure that I could help her a bit but rather be suffered myself. I suffer when my friends suffer and when I can’t help their suffering, especially in life and death situations. I love my friend much, she is one of the purest friends of mine.

Jesus,
We come back again.
This time we should hold hands tight.

Jesus,
The shows are interesting.
Perhaps this is the first time I look at the Chinese people from this point of view.
Things I think about China are
South China Sea, One Belt One Road,
Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet,
economics, human rights,
relations between China and other countries… Continue reading Prayer 314

Corruption becomes a custom of our country.
So bad.
Though corruption is the darkness
and the darkness covers our country,
the darkness has not overcome the light (1). Continue reading Prayer 310

Một sáng cuối tuần, gặp lại Miên Đức Thắng ở phòng trà Sienna (Sài Gòn), tôi mới biết cũng tại đây, anh vừa dự chương trình thơ nhạc “Nụ hoa vàng ngày xuân” tưởng niệm 10 năm ngày mất của nhà thơ Kim Tuấn (1938 – 2003) do Hội nhà văn TP tổ chức. Trong buổi sinh hoạt này, Miên Đức Thắng hát bản “Cứ chảy theo thời gian” mà thú vị là bản nhạc lại do anh phổ từ một bài thơ của chính mình viết để nhớ lần tiễn nhà thơ Kim Tuấn đến lò thiêu Bình Hưng Hòa. Bài “Cứ chảy theo thời gian” trước đó đã xuất hiện trên tập Văn Tuyển 4 – tháng 3/2013 với nhiều trang dành riêng cho chủ đề “Tưởng nhớ Kim Tuấn”… Continue reading Nghe nhạc trị liệu Miên Đức Thắng
Jesus,
I love our talks.
The talks have no words.
The talks make us closer
for my eyes have enough of seeing,
for my ears have enough of hearing,
for my nose has enough of smelling,
for my tongue has enough of tasting,
for my body has enough of feeling,
and for my soul has enough of loving.
The holy talks.
I love you, Jesus.
Amen.
PTH
Jesus,
How to talk to people about you?
Yes, by my living way.
The way I live in you daily.
I only need to live in you.
All the rest, you’ll take care of that for me.
An easy and wonderful life.
I love you, Jesus.
Amen.

Những lúc bị mưa bão giam trong nhà mình lại cứ nghĩ lung tung. Hôm nay, mình nghĩ đến những người dân Nam Trung bộ. Họ vừa bị bão số 12 tấn công tuần trước, tuần này lại phải đón bão 14. Trong những ngày giông gió này, chắc có ai đó tự cho rằng đời họ chỉ toàn là màu đen, chỉ đầy giông bão. Đời họ không có mấy ngày vui và bình an… Sao mà đời chán đến thế….
