I work on words, mostly, toward them being poetry or short stories, and then some of those become songs. They all find their place in the world, but they all start off in the same place. I'm always painting and drawing as well, and it's an ongoing creative assignment.

我们都在踏着空气中一首歌的消逝之路，春天的花朵和冬雪的消逝之路，风和溪的消逝之路，心爱的脸庞的消逝之路。
