What makes a gentleman?
Is it of his bearing
Of his clothes and his shoes
Of his watch glimmering?
What makes a gentleman?
Is it the women he woes?
Or the girls that adores?
Or the number of foes?
What makes a gentleman?
Is it his education?
Of honours and valour?
Of labour or vocation?
What makes a gemtleman?
Is it his wealth or riches?
The size of his wallet?
Of mansions and resources?
What makes a gentleman?
Is not what we see.
Is not what we hear.
Is not what we make of them.
What makes a gentleman?
It is his contributions.
His noble pursuits.
Of meeting solutions.
What makes a gentleman?
It is his faith.
His matters to family.
And love so great.

What I Dream For
simple life with great meaning
is all I aspire throughout
is all I aspire throughout
simple needs, immaterial
a fruitful existence about.
for to live in simplicity
is without any doubt
less of trials and insecurities
of serenity devout.
a small cottage atop a hill
pristine beauty and green
or a hut that stands still
on a farm with nature serene.
with plants and flowers abloom
of caring, admiring with leisure
purple, blue, pink and red
surrounded with great pleasure.
and when to live a dream
is not but inevitability
not easy but with focus
and profound ability.

A Short Musical Treat
I like going to flea markets especially when there are things related to arts. Just two days ago I was walking through the streets of Chiangmai to browse on items in a place they called Walking Street. It is a long stretch of road lined with wares such as clothing, art stuff, accessories, food, silverware, souvenir items and other things. There will be around three intersecting streets along that long road where massage chairs are lined up, more food and stalls, and artists sketching faces.
I ended to the Three Kings Monument where the art fest was being held. I managed to watch a fine musical extravaganza of Thai musicians using their local musical instruments. Then an international playing band came after them. They are from the Netherlands and called themselves Jigger Bigger Band and I was in for a treat.
The band doesn't use any electronic devices to hook their instruments. It was just the banging of their drums, the blowing of trumpets and trombones, and using some other percussion instruments that really made it a powerful music experience to hear. They played songs from the eighties including pieces from Broadways. It wasn't impossible to not dance as the vibes and the energy of the group spread out in full force to their viewers. It was a feast to see people stood up from their seats to actually participate and dance, something I rarely see in Thailand.
Music makes the soul alive and being alone didn't bother me that night. It was the experience of being in that moment, at the right time and place that made my life complete. It was music that accompanied me through another journey. It was short but a great treat.
