I discovered this beautiful piece by Ennio Morricone today from the movie The Mission. Earlier I met with one of my international students to do some English practice. She shared that she had been talking with one of my colleagues. When asked she shared that she related to me as a teacher and as a friend, then a pause and she said as a mother. I smiled because I knew as father was impossible. Other's in the past have said grandma etc.
When my 'ma' passed away years ago I decided that her caring nature and values for neighbours and strangers was something I really wanted incarnate. Perhaps that is my mission.

Beauty and sadness
Sometime I come across something on youtube that I really like and Sifei Wen's arrangement and performance of the theme from Schindler's List is in that category.
It is very precise and maybe perhaps could have been a little more free in timing but still something of beauty. I had a little scare this week when I couldn't see properly because of bright lights in my eyes. For 2 days I was a little worried even though they went away because perhaps there was damage or I might need an operation. Still I'm OK but tired from worrying. I think because I realized for the first time there isn't anyone to look after me if I get sick or disabled. Anyhow I'm OK for now and enjoy Sifei Wen.
