Bonnie Loves The Sea

" My Bonnie lies over the ocean, my bonnie ..." I can recall my grandma taught me this Scottish traditional folk song and all together with this powerful song, 

"We shall overcome, we shall overcome, we shall overcome someday, O deep in my heart I do believe we shall overcome someday."

These songs were my lullabies when I was 4 years old. 

I remember in 2020, most sailors were sent home from overseas during the pandemic period, while my hubby experienced the lockdown phase in the country where he works as a sailor. So I started to sing Joan Baez's song to calm my nerves of worrying about the virus and the future. One day in 2020, my hubby called to inform me about the situation. Soon I knew that he appeared to be one of the lucky sailors who can stay working and keep their job. As we hoped for the same thing, hoped for a miracle, our wish was granted by God and we overcame the situation. I felt reluctant to sing the first song during the pandemic, simply because I think Bonnie loves the sea.

'Oat' and 'Out'

By
"Son, if the oats finish, we may need to go out!" Said a young mother to her little boy. How do you perceive this line, a sad line? Supposing it is a sad line, yes, they need to go out! Even if it is a happy line, they still need to go out. "Mom, let's go out and pick strawberries instead! The boy responded cheerfully. I learned something from children way of thinking, that we can count on their big picture thinking in hard times or dilemma. Photo source: Unsplash (Photographer: No-Revisions)

Born to Create

Photo Source: Pixabay (Photographer:Welcome to All ! ツ ) Yes, it is our nature to fight It is our nature to conquer It is our nature to love and hate  It is our desire to find the meaning of everything We build and destroy We burn things and we grow things We initiate war and declare peace We always compete in everything We were born to create  Create a tower that reach the heaven and look for its Creator Create monuments for ourselves Create the skycrapers to see from above We were born to create Create songs to lift up our praises  Make music to worship The Lord and move the heaven's army Build houses for The Lord and gather up to pray together.
