“you may not be her first, her last, or her only, she’s loved before and she may love again. but if she loves you now, what else matters? she’s not perfect – you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together, but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold on to her, and give her the most you can, she may not be thinking about you every second of the day but she will give you a part of her she knows you can break — her heart. so don’t hurt her, don’t over analyze and expect more than she can give, smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.” -bob marley

WithOut Regret
Life the true beauty it is……
listen, o drop,
give yourself up without regret,
and in exchange gain the OCEAN.
listen, o drop,
bestow upon yourself the honor,
and in the arms of the SEA be secure.
who indeed should be so fortunate?
an ocean wooing a drop
in GOD’S NAME, IN GOD’S NAME,
SELL AND BUY AT ONCE!
give a drop,
and take this SEA full of pearls.
- Rumi

The Chain by Chien-Chi Chang Magnum photographer
The Long Fa Tang Temple in southern Taiwan is both a sanctuary and a prison for 700 mental patients. The temple administers neither medications nor treatments used in other such institutions. Instead, the Buddhist monks and nuns who oversee the patient population employ chains for “therapeutic” purposes. A patient in stable condition is linked and locked to one who is considered less sound. Day in and day out, the more lucid one leads the two-person chain gang. Patients typically arrive at the temple under duress. After exhausting conventional medical treatments, desperate family members see Long Fa Tang as the last resort for the incurable. In the face of harsh criticism, temple authorities maintain that, as well as alleviating the tremendous burden on families, their methods have proven successful in treating the mentally ill.
I’m dedicating this post to life in the compound, which is also a small represntation of life in the world.
We are all mental patients, some of us just happen to be in a more stable condition than others.
