Soju's new pet

Soju got very lonely and cantankerous after Latte disappeared, so we adopted Sake from a rescue agency. They're getting along nicely :). Sake, welcome to your new home!

MISSING SINCE MAY 9, 2008

Latte -- very loved and missed.
With us Dec. 25, 2007 -- May 9, 2008

Hope you're with a good family little piggy.

Stream of Life

The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day
runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.

It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth
in numberless blades of grass
and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth
and of death, in ebb and in flow.

I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.
And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.

Translation of the poem "Stream of Life," by Rabindranath Tagore

Siddique's adaptation "Dancing":
