A gift for you for today, espacialy the ones in my home town whom suffered when the earth decide to move without our melody.......

With all the sweetness in it?

Sweet, in more than one way.

Bai Ling.
1) Yes, favorite candies! And good looking cookie. Sweet gift.

2) You probably know, but in case not, there have been serious cracks discovered in the very large Zipingpu dam, upriver from Chengdu. There are also reports that it’s not a problem. But, nevertheless ... the center of Chengdu is only 39 direct miles from the dam and only 16 miles East of the river downstream. Dujiangyan is at greater risk. If the water level has been successfully lowered in the dam, then the risk is reduced. Your Father probably knows the current situation.

Thanks again for sharing your experiences, thoughts, and pictures with us.

Between the cyclone in Burma and the Chinese earthquake, alot of people have been affected.

Your life is the wedding gift given to the couple of lifeless and in-animatia.

No one knows what to do with it and the majorty decide that its best to put it away in the attic (of complacency, conformaty and self indulgence).

Maybe one day it will be worth something.

When our curiouse children ask about its use we are no better to answer ,scratch your head in wonderment, and hope they don't throw it away.

Live it up everyday
Dont look for the value tomorow.

We love you Bai

I am sure they are hearing your prayers.

China Daily News comments are heart wrenching also.

Ummm.... I'm going to guess that it's a Starburst, Oatmeal Cookie, and Tootsie Roll Pop BUDDHA! Complete with aphorism on his lips?

Do I win?? :-)

It's the tile that caught my eye. Perhaps China is different than the Philippines, but when things where not made out of wood, they were made out of tile. Home - so far away, yet close at hand if I look for it. I hope all of your loved ones are OK.

Hi Ling,

do you think there is true love in this world?

Writing you from sunny germany.

Take care of you.

Hey Bai,
Do you eat all that candy?
How come you’re so slim?
What’s your secret?

Ian k. said...

Espresso by the Gallon and Chocolate covered Espresso beans perhaps ;-)

It’s a self portrait representing Bai Ling’s mellifluous wisdom ….or it’s a diabetics nightmare!!

No.

I invite others who visit this board to help me with the editing so I bring out Bai's PROSE. What would be a better phrasing that she MEANT to say but just didn't know how?

I just think it would make her overall impression STRONGER. But I'm aware there are those who prefer the "refugee waif" style. It just brings out the MAN in them.

With Asian artwork, including sculpture, prose, and poetry, you sometimes have to look beyond the obvious, and try to glean meaning from the symbolic.

With that in mind...
Maybe the picture is a representation of a "Troll." And it's made of candy and cookies, as if to say,
'Eat me, Troll'

Just a guess.

It's the face of a smiling child, made up of starbursts, oatmeal cookie, tootsie sucker, and an approprite saying as the smiling mouth of the child.

Still all sweetness!

With all your talk of Children and so forth I was curious, what you did about that disabled girl last year?

Her father has never heard a thing from you since I understand, I see he was even calling for you on your blog in last August? Did you do this "benefit gig" for this Disabled child like you promised?

Morning, all these aftershocks and they are not little ones is your family staying or leaving the area. I believe in prayer, but I would leave that area. My nerves are shaking just reading about them.
