True happiness is a state of mind.
Happiness is not a consequence of things that happen. 
Do not pursue happiness - practice it. 
Sing, even if you do not sound good. 
Smile, even when things go wrong. 
Create happiness, and happy you will be.

Wounds infected.Hopes, dwindling relentlessly over the horizon called “not today.”It was the story underneath, finally excavated,that began to change everything.2: Huck Lin圍圓坐  sit around circle
相視識. Look to know each other
取紙筆 take pen n paper
述題旨 describe your theme
選時空 choose a space n time
召人議 invite people to discuss
蜂採蜜 bees keep busy
蝶翩舞 butterfly dances
此即時 now is right time
隨心聚 gather with your heartl
終亦始 end is also start3: Paul LevyWe are spreading out to the centre,
Unravelling to the core;
We are flowing in the stillness,
Living less being more.The space it is opening,
The circle spirals in;
The frozen turns to water,
The frown becomes a grin.4: Rolf SchneidereitWenn ich sein kann
wer ich bin
kann ich werden
wer ich sein kannWhen I can be
who I am
I can become
Who I can be5: Carmela ArizaMooWe moved
To overcome
Frames
Stale and hardenedWe mooed
Crossing over
Grassy fields
Verdant mindsWe mowed
Sharp shears
Breaking through
Rigid thoughtsWe mooed
As we moved
On mowed
