A Shadow of a Poem

I look for profundity
I seek the profound
Is it in the people
Is it hidden the rock-like people
Is it beyond the meadow
Is it in the rain, the breeze on the face
The snow at the mountain top,
Is it in the nest
Has it flown away?

I seek the profound
I look for profundity
Have I lost you?
Or have I become insensitive to the presence?

The profound, is it in friends - the people
Is it in sceneries,
or in the deepest of miseries

I look for profundity
I seek the profound
Is it in the oceans, in the depths
In the skies, so high?

Is it a sweat, a tear or a sigh
Is it born afresh, or is it decaying by
Have you seen it, met it, experienced it ?
Have you found it yet?

I look for profundity
I seek the profound
Have you too sought for it long?

I search for it all year round
Is it really all around?

Is it a mistake?
A false ideal?
Or a long forgotten memory?
Is it a dream of a future of hope?
I look for profundity
I yearn for the profound

- You know who;D

The Beautiful patience of a Sloth

I feel a certain level of improvement in with languages. It's small but it means a lot - I am definitely feeling an improvement in my Listening comprehension skills in Finnish ( it's no longer scary), Chinese and Japanese.

Oh, btw do you remember I made promise about learning various memorization techniques so that with time I can use these skills to improve the I live, you know. Remembering more has it's perks and I love the idea of always relying on my memory to remember the wonderful songs I hear, the poems I read and the phrases which resonate with me.

Soon, I'll be starting with using my programming skills to make Games and Design a few Interesting ones for various Editors ( Like Atom and Emacs )  and being someone who loves combining goals and taking things up to a certain Complexity and Challenging level ( often failing to keep up though I am getting better at Getting Things Done ) - After a while I'll rely exclusively on making my own Card-games and Card related Memory practicing techniques.

One of my deepest wish, perhaps one of the most ambitious ones as well is to improve my Memory as best as I can. I wish to be able to memorize songs and poetry as soon as I hear them. I love the words - beyond words;p

Happiness in the Steppes

You know, I am not that big on travelling but everytime I think of spending some time in another country purely for the fun of it - Central Asia is the most mysterious place for me. It calls me like no other place)

Maybe it's the history, maybe the architecture or perhaps just the people and the lifestyle - there are these two countries which I'd love to live in, for a while. The first one being Mongolia and the other one being Kazakhstan.

Of course, it's needless to mention that the languages are fascinating to me as well but it's just the feeling of being physically there that makes me happy the most. Don't know, but I have a feeling that I'd surely find myself in these countries sometime soon=)

A Novice Editor)

  Ah, I've the opportunity to become an in-house editor these days. The SEO ( i.e. the person who is responsible for increasing one's presence on the Internet ) focuses on the exact "business" oriented words whereas I believe that documenting the development processes of the any project is a good way to showcase the work we have accomplished and the work we are doing at any given moment.

I think, that this gives us a better alternative to involve everyone who has participated in a project plus, it's an opportunity for everyone to add a new skill to their lives and, believe me, there are few things as fulfilling as learning how to use the words and how to express yourself in precisely the words you choose.

As far as the ground level details are concerned it's a good way to recapture how we tackled the particular problems we face in due course, even better at forcing us to develop good habits of documentation and keeping tabs on the workflow. By projecting all our experience out there, we do what helped us overcome challenges in the first place. People who put their experience for the world to see, opening oneself up to people and making a move towards a community of like-minded and engaged people rather than surfers.

So, everyone in the place has been asked to do a write and then it will be funneled through a couple of people ( including me). I am sure this way is likely to make the SEO a bit uncomfortable Seems to be a battle between words and ratings? But tell me - when have good words failed to make a difference?
