🌹 Happy 81, Daw Suu 🌹

“ I’ve found more warmth, more wholehearted love, more tenderness, more courage, and more caring concern among my people, as we hope together, we suffer together and struggle together, than anywhere else in the world ” Aung San Suu Kyi Letter from Burma (1997)

တဂိုး၏ကဗျာ

A decade ago, I came across a poem online. While I don't recall all of it, the following two lines have remained in my mind: "the furthest distance in the world is not between life and death…." and "yet you don't know that I love you." Today for no particular reason, I decided to Google it, but surprise, surprise all I discovered was that the poet was Tagore. My recently profound interests in Myanmar poetries has educated me that his works are widely appreciated in Myanmar's poetry circles, with many translations of his poems into Myanmar languages (တဂိုး၏ ကဗျာများ).
