The Furthest Distance in the World ~ Rabindranath Tagore ~

The Furthest Distance in the World
~ Rabindranath Tagore ~

The furthest distance in the world
is not between life and death,
but when I stand in front of you
yet you don't know that
I love you.

The furthest distance in the world
is not when I stand in front of you
yet you can't see my love,
but when undoubtedly knowing the love from both
yet cannot
be together.

The furthest distance in the world
is not being apart while being in love,
but when plainly cannot resist the yearning
yet pretending
you have never been in my heart.

The furthest distance in the world
is not pretending you have never been in my heart,
but using one's indifferent heart
to dig an uncrossable river
for the one who loves you.


===============Meaning===============
This poem is separated into 4 paragraphs
Every paragraph starts with "The furthest distance in the world,"
wiich is what the poet wants to talk about.
Most people think that life and death is the furthest distance in the world.
But for Tagore it's not the furthest distance.

In first paragraph,
he thought that even he was so closed to her,
but she didn't understand his heart was the furthest distance in the world.

In second paragraph,
He said there was something further then the first paragraph,
that's the lover couldn't get together.
Because in first paragraph only 1 people feel sad,
in second paragraph, both of them are sad.

In third paragraph,
pretending you don't love the one who you love is the furthest distance in the world.
Because you need to go against to your heart.

In the last paragraph,
the furthest distance in the world is to hurt someone who love you.

What about you?
what's the furthest distance in the world for you?

The first time I called "911" in Seattle

The first time I called 911 in Seattle.
In Occidental Square Park, that's why I couldn't forget this place.

After I took pictures in Occidental Square Park, I prepared to go to Pioneer Square Park.
I was looking my map and tried to find the direction.
Suddenly, a woman came closed to me, and said,"Help me to call 911."
Her voice was very unclear, and she spoke very fast.
I couldn't know what she said, just heard few words about rob, her money, and her Id card.
She pushed me to the telphone and already dailed the 911.
I didn't know what to do, so i picked up the telphone and talked to the police officer.
He asked me what happened, and few question.
And I tried to explain to him the situation and what I known.
But for me, it's still very hard.

Fortunately, a nice family came here and asked what happened.
I told them that this woman had a trouble and I was talking to the police.
And my english was not good enough to explain the situation to the police officer, so I gave the phone to the mother.
She told the police that the woman might have mental illness, and all of us didn't see the real situation.

After the phone, we were waiting for the police and talked.
Finally, police came here and brought the woman to the police office.
And my story was ended here.

It's pretty good, nice place, delicious food, and fantastic cheesecake, m~~yummy!
Finish the happy lunch time, they wanted to go shopping, and I had other place wanted to go,
so we said goodbye to each other.
