“I want to beg you, as much as I can, dear sir to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke

CD has 50th anniversary
My school in Bangkok had its 50th anniversary recently. It was marked with a preformance by students, teachers and even one of the royal family. I was very impressed with it. I enjoyed the segment where the kids did something similar to STOMP. While kids were banging on chairs and cafeteria trays, a girl entered with a microphone and began to rap in Thai. She was joined on stage by a break dancer. Other highlights included kids playing Thai xylophones while others students came on stage in costumes. They were dressed as monkeys from the Ramakian story. The story originally came from India and was called The Ramayana. Thailand has adapted it with wonderful, colorful costumes of monkeys and demons. They do acrobatic lifts and cartwheels. One of the royal princesses also showed off her ballroom dancing with a partner. I was glad to see that the students did a good job. They worked so hard, and it paid off.
