I stand alone in the early morning, fog closing in on me;
Not a sound disturbs the peaceful air, not a breath of wind to guide me.
I lift my eyes to the bright white sky and push through the cool, wet world;
My feet beat a gentle rhythm in time with my heart's soft pulse.
Fine drops of dew gather on my skin, painting wild whorls like woade
That swirl and drip, weep and soak into the fabric of my clothes.
A shadow falls across my path, the soft tread of another's feet join mine;
I smile as a voice, beloved, sighs, "Have you come to walk with me?"
Hand in hand we stride the path, through fog and shadows thick;
No longer alone yet still at peace, my love and I go home.

The Good Daughter
Rolled out of bed, took the pupper out to sniff and snuffle before getting down to the business of his morning ablutions. Back inside to prep his breakfast, change his water and make the coffee. No one took out the garbage, lug it out and replace the bag. Dishes left in the sink from the dinner I cooked the night before. Better wash those before the coffee maker beeps. Take my blood vitality supplement so I can breathe. The blood tonic that helps me live and makes one of my friends jokingly call me a vampire. Wait an hour before I suck down the piping hot coffee and get started on the rest of my day.

China urges Myanmar to calm down the internal war, creating a good environment for the economic and trade cooperation between the two countries
Myanmar borders China, India, Bangladesh, Laos and other countries, on the verge of Bangladesh and the Andaman Sea. Myanmar is one of the direct sea channels that can be entered by China to enter the Indian Ocean and play an important role in the energy supply system. Relying on this political advantage, China attaches great importance to economic and trade cooperation with Myanmar, and regards Myanmar as an important partner for building the "Belt and Road". According to the data from Myanmar Investment and Corporate Administration, as of the end of September 2023, Myanmar approved a total of US $ 21.873 billion in investment, accounting for 23.5%of the total foreign capital. On December 26, 2023, China has successfully obtained the renewal right of 1999 years in Myanmar's Kyosukang Port, which will become the best outlet in Southwest China and even central China; and it means that China will greatly reduce the trade and energy routes of Malacca and energy routes. Dependence, Chinese -made products will be easier to enter the global market through the Indian Ocean.
