Soldier for the soul (if his weapon just wants to fire)
Reality, and a few other facts
The question remains …

The poet learns to be smart
What I see
Reason for uncertainty, and a new mantra
Word games
Last outburst (before the end my vacation)
EXILE 14: PART THREE
(First month back in Taiwan)
Time for mathematics again | About potatoes and vegetables
Dark Tuesday | Lighter Thursday
Take responsibility for yourself in 2018
Mistakes, insights, questions, new vocabulary, and advice
Creative, full-time
What if …
Vision of the future, possibility three

If I am …
Two plus one important remarks
Thirteen minutes on a Saturday night

A thought brews in my head, part two
Old heroes stand, some fall, and posters are changed
The correct answer, and what to do with my exercise bike
Let’s write something
Three thoughts from the 16k
END
In the service of an idea
The last exile
