embrace your mediocrity
and you shall be free

me
fifty three.

the uncounted seconds
on lê vĩnh tai’s clock

hãy đón nhận sự tầm thường của bạn
và sự tự do sẽ là của bạn

tôi
năm mươi ba.

những giây phút chưa đếm
trên cái đồng hồ
của lê vĩnh tài

Great words of wisdom and you get more beautiful with each passing years. A natural beauty at that. Thank you Trâm for all that you do for those that would not have an outlet for their gorgeous words and art if it were not for you. Blessings and a happy week to you. Love Joni
