Exhale



• Exhale • 


Going through it 


The long duration of dark 


The cold winter night 


The silent day 


When will I know my reason 


When can I enter into peaceful solitude 


Life is but a blink of the eye 


A bat of the lash 


If you want to know 


I'm chasing the wind 


And will soon be mown down 


By the sharp blade 


Come on spring 


Make me new again 


I set and wait for both

You yourself must strive.

The Buddhas only point the way.

Those meditative ones who tread the path

are released from the bonds of Mara.

prisoner of war


Nguyễn Văn Lém (referred to as Captain Bảy Lốp) (died 1 February 1968 in Saigon) was a member of the Viet Cong who was summarily executed in Saigon during the Tet Offensive. The execution was captured on film by photojournalist Eddie Adams, and the momentous image became a symbol of the inhumanity of war.

On the second day of Tet, amid fierce street fighting, Lém was captured and brought to Brigadier General Nguyễn Ngọc Loan, then Chief of the Republic of Vietnam National Police. Using his personal sidearm, General Loan summarily executed Lém in front of AP photographer Eddie Adams and NBC television cameraman Vo Suu. The photograph and footage were broadcast worldwide, galvanizing the anti-war movement; Adams won a 1969 Pulitzer Prize for his photograph. (read more)
