Do not stand
at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds
that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight
on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the
morning’s hush
I am the soft uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star that
shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there.
I did not die.

"One of my favorite move lines is from Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? George Segal says to Richard Burton, “You’ll regret this.” Richard Burton answers, “No doubt. I regret everything."

TIMETRAVELLERS… http://www.facebook.com/pages/TIMETRAVELLERS/339863192027
was started as a personal project to present a collection of stories about common people as timetravellers, told in little pictures within a photostory… and played like a cherished scene in some old film that will be gone in memories if left unseen. They are simple stories of ordinary people around us who had found the courage to relive past struggles, forgotten relationships or unbearable memories that were once abandoned, but nonetheless will always be the very things that define who we are today, and hold the keys to a doorway that offers a glimpse of a future that’s about to be.
Do you believe that we can travel back in time?
The truth is, you may be doing it all this while without even being aware.
And with all the good intent that I can muster, I urge you to join us and make the very best out of your next trip back in time, to witness our journey while sharing your own,
as your fellow time traveller. =)

“The spiteful laughter of children keeps replaying over and over again like a broken tape recorder. I couldn’t make out their faces, but their laughter cuts sharply like razor blades on my face. I am the protagonist in this scene, and at that same moment, the fool in the eyes of those kids…”
“The burn scar from that cigerette still burns today. That smell of stale tobacco on my burning skin had refused to go away, even when it was raining that night. To my surprise, I couldn’t feel the pain at all.”
“Tears came running unwillingly, and I guess it’s because the hurt in my heart were too heavy for me to carry anymore? I couldn’t recall, as I can’t feel the pain anymore. The ‘I’ that is from today wonders why, as I looked at the ‘me’ then, I couldn’t get her tears to stop.”
…….
It is our nature to make mistakes;
to act on the spur of a moment;
to hurt others or even ourselves without knowing then.
But it is also our nature to be time-travellers as well.
We are all time-travellers, even if we are ignorant of this simple truth. The moment we recall and re-experience a significant person, and event, or some other vague memory from long past, we have travelled back in time.
But what is the point of traveling back in time when it’s impossible for us to change anything? Isn’t this just some romantic delusion coming out from some naive dreamer?
I think we have greatly mistaken about the purpose of time-travelling.
It was never about our regrets.
And we can indeed change something.
That something, is what we call, Our Future.
It is our simple nature to be time-travellers;
to relive our past and understand them;
to have the courage to confront those bad memories;
and to relive the good memories for the sole purpose of recreating even better memories in our future.
…to be aware of everything in our lives, that is what that makes us humans…
And thus I wish you good journey in your initimate trips,
as your fellow time traveller and friend. =)

Home to a simple project that I have started to raise funds using my photography for some personal and global causes which I hold dear to, and I hope they are causes that concerns you as well. It would have been a much simpler process if I had the financial power to contribute and fund myself, but even without that, I do believe that there are still many alternatives we can do to help both ourselves and others around the world. It is my greatest hope that even if you do not purchase any prints here, I would have at least pointed you to the right places where you can contribute or spread the word on the critical issues that needs our attention.
Thanx for the support =)
