Silence, Thought, and Air


Silence has existed for millions of years
Or more it’s a matter of what has not existed
Since for such a long time there have not been any sounds

It’s hard to remember that everything stated
Should be infinitely removed
Thoughts should condense into water or evaporate in air
The interplay of concepts glimpsed in nature’s mirror

Thinkers still trace their mandala in the sand
The wind erases, which natural as breathing
Is allowed, rest and remnant, byproduct of life.

Then there was never silence
Or there was and there was not:
Beneath the sands are many bones
Breaking into grains of air.

Self Motivated

I've been doing a little better since I wrote "On Teaching."  I still haven't been applying for jobs. It starts to feel like a lot of effort, and I get very little positive feedback. I don't have a fixed area in which I'm applying -- just feel like I'm submitting applications randomly to schools or whatever position anywhere in the country. I would rather go "on the ground" to a particular office or campus, submit my resume in person to whoever is in charge of the operation, interview the people there. I think I'll be volunteering or substituting -- just trying to get experience and make contacts. I want to make enough money, if I can, but after spending so many years treading water, I'm anxious to see if I can find a way to do  something and not just get paid. -- Part of the reason I've "tread water" is my own lack of motivation, but I don't want to have one more year where I feel like I'm doing something meaningles...

From "长恨歌“

馬嵬坡下泥土中,   不見玉顏空死處。 君臣相顧盡霑衣,   東望都門信馬歸。 歸來池苑皆依舊,   太液芙蓉未央柳; 芙蓉如面柳如眉,   對此如何不淚垂? By the dirt beneath the Mawei slope, unseen, the place where her jade countenance expired to no end. Between lord and vassal in glance exchanged the garments all are soaked; eastward to the city gates they trust the steeds' return. Come back to the pools and parks, all is as before: in Deep Pool, the hibiscus -- the willows of the Endless Court. Hibiscus -- like her face -- and willow -- like her brow; at this how could the tears but flow?

The Test and What It Tests

The students here spend (or are supposed to spend) the time that they are not in class studying for TOEFL (Test Of English as a Foreign Language).  I asked a student and one of the Chinese English teachers whether they wouldn't learn more English if they used that time to study it in a different way. They could read a novel or watch movies and TV shows in depth (record every line, look up all the words they don't know, watch them until they memorized them). The student didn't have anything much to say. The teacher simply said, flatly (but he always speaks flatly) that it is more useful for them to study TOEFL, because they will go abroad in half a year.  Someone could make a satire out of it: students are more concerned to improve their English score than to improve their English. "There's a correlation -- a rising tide lifts all boats."  If only the instrument were perfectly precise! And couldn't it just as well go the other way? You could spend more ti...
