Delicious Ambiguity
Borderless
No longer constrained by one language
I wander into this ambiguous global world
Where miscommunications are commonplace
And people just adjust
Where Si, No(n) replace Yes and No
Where people are more understanding but albeit more confused
Everything is up for interpretation.
One’s identity
One’s character
Even one’s name
Reinventing oneself and finding one true self are not unknown in this blessed place.
Preservation
How many slings and arrows can one soul endure?
Too many if the soul is in
peril.
Obligation and duty are ingrained in our psyche.
Sacrifices are what are often required.
But how many must one woman make?
Too many if her soul is at stake.
Isn’t it nobler to preserve oneself?
