In our vague restlessness stemming from the quotidian, we long to travel to the far-flung places of the earth that seem to hold the unconditional promise of allowing one to begin completely anew. A place where we can embark on a new life with a fresh identity, to pursue new dreams in a fresh environment— a safe space— where no one knows our names.

Bursting the sweet dark

Seki Shun by Anne Lee Tzu Pheng

under this fragile glory of blossoms spring is rapt with beauty; and the heart loosened by gladness shoots sunwards into a luminosity of bloodwarm cherries bursting the sweet dark of fall

I lift my grandchild in my arms while he reaches up in wonder at the branches fat pink fingers open like the petals above him and suddenly the weight of this child I feel as a sorrow almost too heavy to bear

[We Singaporeans are] weird. But that doesn't have to mean fucked up. It can mean magical.
