I AM BACK

|||||||||||||
CANADIAN
SUMMER
I am back, just in time
Without knowing why
Am I back
When Summer arrives
Everywhere on earth
But Canadian Summer
Is not just a Summer
It’s not a hot season
Nor a cold, nor a rainy
Nor any season in the world
It is just a period of
paradise
Nothing to care about
Under this blue sky
Air is free
Thought is free
Water may be free
Beer is not
But sometimes we got
It for free
Only in Summer
And most importantly
Happiness is free of tax
Speech free of censure
When insults are not
But we know
How to insult nicely
Without risk:
Just over compliments
Like:
-I see, you are an expert in
tax evasion
-He is a ‘I’ doctor
-He lightened the conference
room after he left
And so on
When we enjoy a drink
Making many jokes
At Canadian Summer time
Why should we care
About those who do not care
About themselves? ./.

POST 161 JULY
19, 2014
ROISSY EN FRANCE
If you go to
Paris, especially from America, the chance is high that you will land on Charles
de Gaulle Airport (CDG) rather than on Orly or Le Bourget. This is a very
busy airport with four runways, over 1,350 aircraft movements per day, and
almost 6 million passengers per month; you can imagine. Arriving for the
first time, chance also high that you could experience some difficulties to get out
from this very complicate place to find your way to the center of Paris, by
bus or by train. Don’t be upset, better enjoy everything happening and think
to remember how to go back on time for not missing your returning flight
because the airport is huge, traffic jam in Paris is famous, and union-strike
in France is not anything unusual. Better stay near the airport for the night
before departure and that is the way I regularly adopted with some
frustration. But where could I stay? It is not difficult to find a hotel fitting
in all budgets from about 50 euros and up, but it is hard to discover a place
where one could go out and enjoy the last evening at a good restaurant or do
some exercises in a quiet park, or just wander around nice streets. Forget it, it is only
a dream, there is no city around the airport, I thought.
But I was
wrong. Last year I discovered a village called ROISSY EN FRANCE, a
picturesque place just near the airport. This year, thanks to the strike that
put my way back to the airport at risk, I came to my hotel much earlier than
usual. So I had time to explore this village with large park full of flowers
and beautiful trees, melancholic old streets, excellent restaurants, and a
modern Maison de la Culture. I learned about ‘The world of bees’ through a number of posters all along the
path from the large park up to the high street. Through some pictures pasted
in this Post 161 I would like to share with you a happy day I've got before
leaving Paris last June.

==================================================
Sometimes did you get tired, discouraged by the busy life in society or by the disillusion about people you had counted on? Just looking up at the beautiful moon and go deep inside of your soul to find the real nature of yourself: YOU WERE BORN BEAUTIFUL, NOTHING COULD AFFECT YOU.
In this Post 164 I'd like to share with you a spontaneous writing under the form of a poem and a short exercise called NGA-THI which is a powerful tool to shape our body-and-mind.
Meet you through the moon when I am looking up to the sky this evening 10 August 2014, about 8:00 pm Eastern time.
HAVE A NICE DAY

Autumn Moon and Wide Sky

WIDE SKY
(English translation draft)
Looking up to the moon, we forget all sadness
Like a butterfly, flying among clouds, in the universe
Throwing away all worrisome
Fly, fly, fly... you are free
Over the immensity of ocean
Come and swim over there in Eternal Spring
On high mountain , under the moon, sharpen your sword
Then look down your own image in the water mirror
Are you sure that you are your-self?
Charles Phan Hoang 2004
TRƯỜNG THIÊN
(This is original in Vietnamese classic form)
Ngưỡng nguyệt tắc vô ưu
Hồ điệp đằng vân lưu
Phiền đoạn hề xuất xuất
Trùng vũ bằng phi tựu
Đại hải vân hạc phiêu
Thiên nga Bồng-lai thủy
Ma kiếm hạ nguyệt luân
Ảnh chiếu ư ngã thị ?

TRƯỜNG THIÊN(This version is a poem in Vietnamese)
Nhìn trăng ta bỏ hềt sầu
Thành con bướm đẹp tinh cầu mây bay
Quẳng đi phiền muộn cõi này
Điệp trùng vũ trụ ta bay tuyệt vời
Đại dương cánh hạc ngàn khơi
Suối tiên ta tắm thoả đời thiên nga
Non cao mài kiếm trăng tà
Nhìn theo bóng nưóc ta là ta chăng?

The Island of
CRETE
(Part One)
| |
On that Monday, late night, my airplane landed on the island of Crete. The Cretan gentleman at the car rental counter has been patiently waiting for me but visibly willing to finish rapidly with my business as seemingly I was the last customer of the day. He made me appose some needed signatures then gave me the keys and a map, and nicely shown me the way to the parking lot where I supposedly must find my rented car, a red Peugeot 107.The parking lot was a bit dark but I could see all the cars without any extra effort. After checking around for a while all these cars my rented car still did not appear to my view and a small panic somehow reached my soul. No one around, the night became darker than a few minutes ago and the situation became more stressing. While desperately I continued to check all these cars again and again, a saying about the Cretan came to my mind, that said:‘All Cretans are liars’. Yes, that quotation was in the chapter ‘Paradox’ I learned at school, a long time ago, in a course of Philosophy. “Epimenides, a Cretan, who asserted that all Cretans are liars”. So how could we think -whether Cretan people are liars or not- for Epimenides was also a Cretan, then he must be lying!
Finally, I did find the car which was mysteriously parked at another place but still inside the designated parking!
My adventure in the island of Crete started with this story about paradox: A Cretan told a foreigner that “The car is in the parking lot”. Was it really in the parking lot? Of course it was, but not at the same parking!
Now I had to find the way to my hotel through the large city of Xania where streets signs were all in Greek!
Good night.

BALOS
Island of Crete
(Part Two)

In this
Post 166 I’d like to share with you my visit at BALOS Lagoon, a wonderful
place, unique in the world I have visited last May (2014). A place when looking up you cannot embrace
the whole sky, looking down you do not see where the ocean ends, looking
backward the road that brought you here already disappeared. Only looking
inward you can discover the real nature of yourself beyond good and bad.
g.m. phan hoang
---------------------------------
AT BALOS
The narrow road
ends
Up, high, wind,
ocean
Land ends
Another world
under the sky
Wide open
On the sand
background
The past
civilization behind
I sat there,
moment ago
On a rock
Between the blue
and the green
I mean where is
the sky
And where is the
ocean
When the land
ends
Immensity open
Don’t fall!

RETHYMNO
-Island of Crete , Part Three-
|
|
Today is the last day of August (31 Aug. 2014), for most of us Summer
Vacations are now ending and we are preparing for the BACK TO SCHOOL activities.
In this Post 167 I continue to share with you pictures taken on my travel
in Crete. After visiting BALOS (Post 166) I went to RETHYMNO.
Rethymno surprised me with its wonderful night life.
By luck I met two American teachers who explained me why they liked to
stay in this city for years; then I met a group of nice students who guided
me through the city center at night. You could never say you have really
visited a city if you did not pass at least a night there. Rethymno at night
is another world: full of music, happy people, open shops, endless busy
streets, attractive restaurants and a quiet walking way along the sea. Being
in company of local people changes completely your view of the place you
are exploring.
Thank you for visiting Rethymno through the lenses of my old and small
Sony Cybershot bought seven years ago. The other Sony, with much better
quality, stayed home because when I am traveling “SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL!”
