Swine Head

彐‧ㄐㄧˋ»
豕頭曰彐 字本作彑 略象豕頭上銳而面部碩大之形 本義作豕頭解 即豬頭 彑 豕之頭也 象其銳而上見之形（通訓定聲‧彑）

Now it's a head. A head of swine that pokes its nose towards the sky. The meaty and puffy face seems being put on a plate whose rim line, in fact, stands for the neck below which other bodily parts remain invisible (or cut off?). A fat swine head put on a plate to serve other words by making them, partially, of itself. What other words? Words that should smell good and look piggy. Of course, all this is only guessing at and fantasizing about a picture of the posture of a swine head.

Short Steps

彳‧ㄔˋ»
彳象股（上）脛（中）足（下）三層相連之形 行為人之步趨 今彳僅得其半 故本又作小步解 小步行 行忽小止

彳于»
左步為彳 右步為于 合則為行 凡行 彳先 于必隨之（正字通‧彳于） 行中稍留 彳為小步即起行 于為反彳即步止 彳于為行遂各兼行字 步止一義

A short step is a tiny one. To walk is to walk steps. Continuously and incessantly. Hence walking kept going. Never an easy task. From the buttock, through thigh and shin, and way down to the foot, the posture pictures a tiring work. Almost like a shaking half of a body's underpart. Almost coming to a stop. Or being like to do so. Yet got to keep walking. Raising and lowering steps, one by one, in resolution. Or dissolution will catch from behind. And overdrive.

Troublesome Skin

Troubled by unknown skin disease for weeks. Too lazy to see a dermatologist. Only go to clinics in the neighborhood, seeing doctors of non-specialty in dermatology. Symptoms have not been alleviated. Itching continued.

Finally went to an expert today. Feel differently. Prescription smells highly professional. Hope it will taste the same.

Will fly to Russia tomorrow. May the medication work. Or my trip to Russia will be a hell.
