Vegetation of Happiness

Taken in Taiwan, from a cable car

Friedrich Nietzsche-

Right beside the sorrow of the world and often upon its volcanic ground, human beings have laid out their little gardens of happiness; whether they observe life with the eye of someone who wants knowledge alone from existence, or of someone who submits and resigns himself, or of someone who rejoices in difficulties that have been overcome -everywhere they will find some happiness sprouting beside the misfortune- and indeed, the more happiness, the more volcanic the ground was -only it would be ridiculous to say that the suffering itself could be justified by this happiness.

You threw my pencil-case out of our classroom window, I threw yours down too. Two pencil-cases on the ground, they landed with a bump. When you jump, I'd want to jump too.

I am happy to sweep sand with you.
I am happy when we colour pictures together.
I am happy just smiling with you.
I am happy playing house with you.
I am happy when you are.




























































The sky's your blanket, the rainbow's in your hands.














For these and more, I love you more than cabbages can say.
(Yeah, corny)
