TMI ... Too Much Imagination. But often can't find the words.

The words of my perfect teacher:

不要執著 "Don't grasp and stick."
不要懷疑你能不能做 "Don't hug doubts about whether you can or cannot do."

o

Interests: literature, martial arts, philosophy, medicine, science

Fandoms: (in very arbitrary alphabetical order): Harry Potter (so far, read only), Star Wars, Twilight

In real life, I am a mother, a registered nurse, and a student of Chinese medicine.

I'm miaokuancha on twitter, too. Update notices and occasional teasers, random commentary and socializing.

Of Edward, for Isabella: " ... a desire beautiful despite its murky depths." Anais Mark, Metaphysics

"Do you not see how necessary a world of pain and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul? A place where the heart must feel and suffer in a thousand diverse ways." John Keats (1795 - 1821), quoted by Minisinoo in her story, "Children of the Middle Waters", Book II of the Heyoka series.

o

More Minisinoo (yes, I'm on a jag): "Wisdom is not related to intelligence or talent, but to compassion and humility." from Chapter 8 of "Children of the Middle Waters", Book II of the Heyoka series.

o

Just one more: "Knowledge is empirical, but belief existential. No experiments will confirm it, no proofs will convince. Only experience." from Chapter 9 of "Special", by Minisinoo.

"He that would live in peace and at ease, Must not speak all he knows, nor judge all he sees." Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
