Sunrise, Summer of ‘10
My family lives on traditions. Every Lunar New Year, we set out to watch the annual fest of cheesy fireworks before heading home for some whiskey kisses and cheers. Every summer, we skip away to some forsaken beaches and pretend the rest of the world’s fading away into oblivion. The perks of living in Vietnam is that you can always find some beautiful places to escape to. Nature’s pretty fucking awesome, as is the food. And as much as I despise it, there’s something addictive in the raw intensity of the weather, like I’m proud to have survived it somehow. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I miss being back there. Sometimes.
So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

1373 - 
He took out a pile of shirts and began throwing them, one by one, before us, shirts of sheer linen and thick silk and fine flannel, which lost their folds as they fell and covered the table in many-colored disarray. While we admired he brought more and the soft rich heap mounted higher — shirts with stripes and scrolls and plaids in coral and apple-green and lavender and faint orange, and monograms of Indian blue. Suddenly, with a strained sound, Daisy bent her head into the shirts and began to cry stormily.
“They’re such beautiful shirts,” she sobbed, her voice muffled in the thick folds. “It makes me sad because I’ve never seen such — such beautiful shirts before.”
