“Walk La Solo Ray (Sonnet 1006)
Heart immeasurable is measure supreme,
All other measures are caveman's dilemma.
What measured minds deem as blasphemy,
The immeasurable deem the end of myopia.
You can inherit money, not mind,
You can inherit cash, not character.
When heritage makes mind petrified of mind,
It is not heritage but a humanitarian disaster.
So what, if the measured don't flock behind,
Like they frolic on the beaches of frivolity!
The sun above burns alone giving light to all,
While the hyenas below never run out of company.
Defy all old and new that desecrate the heart away.
Hearken to no inherited fear, and walk, la solo ray.”

Will later give a bow,
To a glorious sun.”

“The Immeasurable Dimension (Sonnet 1014)
During my bouts of nirvikalpa samadhi or trance,
I have no perception, which language I'm writing in.
When the trance breaks and normal awareness returns,
It looks less like literature 'n more like exotic cuisine.
It is not only difficult but plain impossible to adapt
the immeasurable to the measures of a prison camp.
So I rewrite the original light simplified by love,
Hoping it may reach the heart across cultural handicap.
Handicap of culture is a choice, it's not your destiny,
Only you can sign the release orders from your imprisonment.
We cover our eyes from the evil outside and its cure inside,
Then we run here and there chasing fictional treatment.
There is a dimension immeasurable intrinsic to every human mind.
Be immersed within, and you shall rise with an immeasurable light.”

“Let's start a tradition - a tangible tradition of integration. Instead of celebrating our own culture, let's dedicate each festival of ours to our sisters and brothers from another culture - let's celebrate their goodness, their laughter, their wisdom - so that one day, our children may wake up to a world where there is no "our culture and their culture", just "human culture".”

“Home is a people, not a place. Move to a different city, and anyone from your hometown will feel like family. Move to a different country, and the very sight of someone from your native country will make you emotional. Move to space, and the very sight of earth will wreak tears of joy.
We keep bickering over trivial things like race, religion, gender, sexuality, status and so on, because even in this day and age we still take human life for granted. Ask an astronaut, and they'll tell you, whether they can find any trace of those prehistoric barriers from up there in space.”
