Here's yet another beautiful song! It Ain't Me Babe, Bob Dylan Go away from my window Leave at your own chosen speed I'm not the one you want, babe I'm not the one you need You say you're lookin' for someone Who's never weak but always strong To protect you and defend you Whether you...

On Beauty (and Dolphins)
Today while on our usual run along Swan River, Wei Hao and I came across the most beautiful sight, that of the diffused light of the rising sun, spreading itself into a majestic reddish-orange -- like a phoenix.
