Walking on the duckweed

30 years ago,
on one Sunday in summer,
my whole family went to our land in suburb

It was a garden full of mango trees and coconut trees. The first time that all of us were excited to see the garden and pick the fruits.


As the youngest child, I desired to lead, to be a pioneer

“Come, come, follow me, I' ll show you the path”

I confidently walked and joyously sang

“la la la...ha ha.”...selah (silence in Psalm)

“..help me” (quiet)

Without experience! My body sunk into the slush.(a garden gutter)

“What’s up?” My brother gave me his hands.

I climbed up with the duckweed in that embarrassing moment.

They laughed at me along the way back home, but we had fun
