do not stand

" 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 glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there,I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!"
(Mary frye 1932)

Heading East

I have just returned from a month in Barcelona,where I took a CELTA-certificate in English teaching to adults.This should help in my quest for a better job in Hong Kong(for now), or anywhere(in the future). I missed the family very much whilst in Barcelona, and it has been nice being home this weekend.Unfortunately I will leave again on Friday, and return to Hong Kong. Teosdee and the kids will follow 5 weeks later. Teosdee is busy filling up the biggest box in the world to send to the Philippines, where we can pick up the stuff later this year.
