Jimmy Liao, a well known illustrator in Taiwan made cartoons for adults. I recommend that his poetry books are as deep, meaningful as The Little Prince.
Here is a quote from the story (A Chance of Sunshine).....
' 迷宫般的城市，让人习惯看相同的景物，走相同的路线，到相同的目的地；习惯让人的生活不再变化。习惯让人有种莫名的安全感，却又有种莫名的寂寞。而你永远不知道，你的习惯会让你错过什麽。'
(The city is more like a complicated maze. People in it look at the same thing, walk on the same route and reach the same destination everyday. This has been the habit of it's people. This habit freezes life. The habit secures people but also makes you lonely. And you never know, what you might miss because of your habit. )
'走在人群中，格外思念那段甜蜜却短促的相逢．
在这个熟悉又陌生的都市中，无助的寻找一个陌生又熟悉的身影.'
(Walking in the crowds, he was missing the short moment of sweetness.
Wondering in this familiar though strange city, she was searching for a strange though familiar figure.)
他们却.....
逗过同一只黄色小花猫， 过同一只流浪狗，
在阳光微弱的早晨，听到同一只乌鸦的叫声．
(However......
They played with the same yellow kitten, saw the same wondering doggy, and they both heard the voice of a same bird on the same gloomy morning.)
I could not agree more with the writer in his book. Life is fragile and unpredictable. I heard the sigh.......
Soooooooooooo
The visible, searchable choices we make in life is out of our destiny or consequence?? Or both?
What can we do to stop meaningless wonder in this maze?
But cry for the wisdom and strenghth.
