Happiness

Be Prim
Be Proper
And you will be prosperous

Straight in thoughts
Clear in mind
And you will find peace

The hand that let it go
The heart that finally let it go

That moment,
Anger left
Love returns
It envelopes, it surrounds
With joyous sensation
So light, it light up others

I love
The peace in my mind
The joy in my heart
The love in my soul
The smile that is genuine

I pray
The peace within their minds
The joy found in their hearts
The love buried beneath
The smiles that stretched a mile

I hope
In difficult times, we have the courage to let go
In easy times, we have the faith and will to persevere

Care

Step out
Do not be afraid

Care
Do not be afraid

Love
Do not be afraid

Give
Do not be afraid

Remove the barrier
Do not be afraid

Be courageous
And if all fails,
You still have,
Self.

The week that marks history

Nestled wave 3's, coupled with infamous mercury retrograde, made worse with wild swings associated with heliocentric mercury in Sagittarius. And there you have it, the recipe for volatility and freefall.

On April 26, US indexes marked their high. At a intraday high of 11,258 on dow jones, it was also near to the fib 61.8% target. April 26 happens to be the date of 4th pass of the Saturn-Uranus opposition. The past 3 passes showed similarities where the market made a crest and fell thereafter. Will the final 5th pass follow the same route ? I bet so.

May 19 marks the day when Venus enters Cancer, setting off the Cardinal Climax. I mentioned in my earlier article on the Cardinal Climax and its implications. This summer is all about debt, social mood, the grand opposition of Saturn and Uranus, where Saturn represents the authority, the government. And the last week of May sees the 20 year opposition between Jupiter and Saturn coming into effect. This is the time to either make big money, or lose big. Place your bets wisely.

Fat finger error ? Debt ridden europe catalyst ? Correction long overdue ?

Coming back to the charts, technical charts showed damage, it has the look and feel of P3 or Wave C. Whether or not, this is the start of the next bear leg, or merely a bull market correction, is yet to be known. Only time will tell. Target for stops should be at SPX 800-900, which should take a couple of weeks to complete. Last night's action showed a symmetrical triangle, which is a wave 4. This means we may still have a downleg to complete wave 5 before we actually see any meaningful rebound.

In all these rush and gush, jpy is growing strongly against the euro. Is Japan ending their 20 year bear market and starting the next big bull ? My gut instincts tell me so, the currencies market are telling us so. While the west struggle with their debt problems, the east is consolidating and slowly emerging as the next leader. This shift of power, the theme of this crisis.

The Angel & Demon

The demon in me
Takes delight in myself
In a world of black and white
With recurring spasms of anger and hurt

Like a volcano full of ash and soot
Never clear, always steer
An infectious disease
It harms, it torments

The angel in me
Delighted by the smiles of others
In a world of roses and rainbow
Basking in lasting joy of love and patience

In a mind calm and unpenetrating
Taking joy in my dreams
Feeling the heartbeat of every being
The child within their soul

A land of righteousness
A paradise of bliss
The haven of pandora
The pulse of the light

Right here, in the corner of my mind

Draft it, carve it, create it,
You have it.
Be it.
See it.
Light it.
Show it.

Power of your dream

What is your dream ?

This is a question everyone will be asked at least once in their entire life. When I was young, my parents asked me what I would want to be when I grow up. I looked at them and aspire to be what they want me to be. So my dream was to be a doctor.

In my teens, my teachers asked us to pen a composition on our dreams. I looked at my teacher and submitted my composition. I wanted to be a teacher. They gave me 60 marks for that. And since, I made up my mind not to be one.

As time passes by and as I stumbled, fell, picked myself up and moved, the image of my real dream becomes clearer. I no longer aspired to be a doctor, a teacher or any profession that most people would die for. I no longer desire to achieve million club status by xx age. No longer.

What do I want to be ? I asked life in return. What can I do so that when I lay my last breathe, I can smile and say goodbye, having led a life of fruitfulness. Fruitfulness then, depends on individual perceptions and motivations. There is no right or wrong. It is a choice, your choice. In the end, you are the witness to your chosen path.

My dream, is to leave behind a legacy that has the ability to create, to spread, to multiply in goodness, spreading the torch of love and smile for decades or centuries to come.

This is my aspiration, the dream for myself, children, descendants and my future. It is just that simple. Nothing fascinating, nothing wow-ed. It is merely living out my life's worth to excellence. And excellence to me, can only be measured by the amount of light that it has touched on others. A life expectancy of 80 years doesn't just end there. Your body erodes, but your soul lives on.

Someone told me before, "life is a piece of cake, enjoy it". Our personal entanglements and troubles all seemed so insignificant when we opened our hearts to others . Love gives, love returns.

What is your dream then ? Are you leaving out your dream for someone else, or because others have done so, or simply because you do not have one. Do you love the dreams that your dream brings you. Be true to your answer, you are your own judge. You are the witness to your chosen path. You have a choice.

Find your dream, the dream that makes people dream.
