All ThingsEpisode 53: The Rise in Anti-Asian Violence: An Interview With FriendsFor months there has been a notable uptick in acts of violence against the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community in the US. The recent mass shooting targeting women of Asian descent in Atlanta was horrific in and of itself, but it also came on the heals of a year rife with verbal and physical assaults against Asian Americans across the country. On this episode of All Things I invite two friends in my community and church to share their stories as Asian American women. We talk about the long history of anti-Asian sentiments, crimes, and laws in...

Are you also looking at the moon
And longing for me?
Across the vast universe, far away

And become the perfect love
In the end, we will meet

One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise. This philosophy fitted on to my early adult life, when I saw the improbable, the implausible, often the "impossible," come true.

you catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today
I started smiling, too.
I passed around the corner
and someone saw my grin.
When he smiled, I realized,
I'd passed it on to him.
I thought about my smile and then
I realized its worth.

right around the earth.

don't leave it undetected.

and get the world infected.

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is strange with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns
And many a failure comes about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow.

Once, in summer,
In the blueberries,
I fell asleep, and woke
When a deer stumbled against me.
I guess
She was so busy with her own happiness
She had grown careless
And was just wandering along
Listening
To the wind as she leaned down
To lip up the sweetness.
So, there we were
With nothing between us
But a few leaves, and the wind's
Glossy voice
Shouting instructions.
The deer
Backed away finally
And flung up her white tail
And went floating off toward the trees -
But the moment before she did that
Was so...

for each imagined inadequacy.
Allow the dialogue within the mind
to grow friendlier, and quiet. Shift
out of inner criticism and life
suddenly looks very different.
i can say this only because I make
the choice a hundred times a day to release the voice that refuses to
acknowledge the real me.

“Mend my life!”
each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late

and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.

All you frightened orphans of light,

Shuffle out of the darkness,

To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves, no step had trodden black.
