那一日 闭目在经殿香雾中
暮然听见 你诵经中的真言
那一月 我摇动所有的转经筒
不为超度 只为触及你的指尖
那一年 磕长头匍匐在山路
不为觐见 只为贴着你的温度
那一世 转山转水转佛塔阿
不为来世 只为途中与你相见

Yesterday, I received a comment from Manson asking What motivates me to keep blogging in English. I'm happy to answer Manson's wonder. Below is his message and below the message is my answer.

 I am so impressed by the endeavor you have devoted in your blog, I spent hours reading your writing and stories.  Maybe because similarity attracts, I just couldn't stop reading while I still have my dessertation to complete.

Having holidays are so good, and I've been wondering how is your 'new' marketing research job going since last year you left your HR role.  I also left my previous job for I couldn't bear it any more.  

I am also very impressed by your determination in writing your blog in English.  This is not easy, is it because "there is a will, there is a way"?  I couldn't do this, and I always admire and respect people like you that could and can do it.  May I ask what motivates or motivated you to keep you writing in English?

What makes me insist? Well, the first I want to say is that I’m as lazy as the laziest man in the world. When I get up every morning, I don’t make the beds. I will drag on as long as I can to escape from washing the bowls after a meal. But why I can stick to posting regularity in English? Well, the answer is you, the readers as you who I have encouraged me.

When I was lazy or tired, the encouraging words of you make me revived and push me to sit up writing. I feel good whenever there’s someone familiar or strange leaves a message here. I feel rewarding to sow my opinion and reap attention here. I want to make my voice be heard by the others, it, in some way, prove the existence of me.

And another important thing that can answer why keep blogging is obligation. I think to keep blogging is de facto my obligation to my readers. I know some friends keep dropping by hoping to see some news of or from me. I don’t want to upset them. I think this also an quite important motivation behind my work.

The third and the original purpose why I blog in English is that I want to enhance my English through. But now its importance has been deemphasized. The enhancement of my English is only a by-product when I gladly communicate with other bloggers or friends here.

Agree with spring's comment, and I finally started blogging (again http://spaces.msn.com/mansonxu/), because I couldn't keep it up before.  I hope you will also carry on, so that we can have more stories.
