China Blues

Evidently, China has not “lost its socialist mainstay” as critics claim, as SOEs continue to play the leading role within the economy, directing development towards the realisation of socialism, and private capital remains subordinated to the CPC.  

Intelligent people…

Intellectuals go to sleep late and get up late.
Highly intelligent people tend to have less friends than the average person.
Talking to yourself is the sign of high intelligence.
They underestimate themselves more than ignorant people.
They are Open-Minded.
They are less likely to keep traditional values.

Virginia Woolf was brilliant…

“The melancholy river bears us on. When the moon comes through the trailing willow boughs, I see your face, I hear your voice and the bird singing as we pass the osier bed. What are you whispering? Sorrow, sorrow. Joy, joy. Woven together, like reeds in moonlight.”

― Virginia Woolf

John Lee Hooker & Carlos Augusto Alves Santana – The Healer

“Hmm, have mercy
The blues , the blues is a healer
Blues, blues, is a healing healer
It healed, healed, healed
Heal!
Heal, heal, heal!
All over the world, all over the world
It’s a healer”
