I wake up in the morning.
Don’t let everything affect you. Wear a shield on your heart, and welcome only what you want to.
~my mother, with faded clothes and shining eyes.

I sit before noon. 
Don’t hide too much. Even if you are empty or full, you will still be balanced.
~ a glass of water, precariously balanced on a table.

I eat at noon.
Walk slowly. Look down sometimes. You never know where your next step will land.
~ my sister, sometimes an athlete and sometimes a monk.

I sleep in the afternoon. 
It is important to burst sometimes, especially when you float.
~ a bubble.

I walk in the evening.
Learn everything. Try everything. Taste everything. Be everything. Think everything. See everything. Listen everything. Feel everything. Forget everything. Don’t remember everything. If you try, you lose everything.
~my father, with small hair and far sightedness.

I watch at night. 
Keep moving on. If you try to stop, you will be eroded. Or worse, run over. Everything needs to take a turn.
~the traffic on the highway outside my bedroom window.

I get lost at midnight.
Sleep tight. You are going on a trip.
~me.
