When at a critical moment at a sports game, like a basketball game, when the time is almost up and your team only need to make one more goal to win the game. The audiences will all be very tense, as well as the coaches and other teammates. As for the person that has the ball, s/he might feel really nervous, because everyone is counting on her/him. When the time is closer to finish, the audiences stand up and start shouting at both sides of the team. For the might-be winning team, they are shouting for that person to make a good shot. For the other team, they are shouting to block the ball until the time is up. When the ball is shot, people are all looking to see if it got in, all quiet and nervous.

Permanent things can lasts for a longer time, but eventually permanent things are still going to fade away as time goes by. 

Natures are things that can lasts forever, as long as human beings did no destroy them. In the nature, the oceans, lakes, forests, lands and so on are now being destroyed and used by humans. They are still permanent since humans cannot destroy nature in a short time. Also, if nature is gone, then humans are gone too. 

In a human's life, however; something can be permanent too, like the things you own that aren't easily broken, and maybe your feelings for someone or something. Although feelings can be fleeting, which today you like something or someone, tomorrow the feelings are gone. 

In the world around me, my family and my friends are both the permanent things and fleeting things that are important to me.

On Christmas Days, people can see a lot decorations on trees, houses and sometimes the roads where people celebrate Christmas. Little light bulbs and colorful balls, small angels and socks of many different sizes. Presents under the trees waiting to be open up. Smells of many tasty food combined, huge chickens and delicious soap, cute gingerbread man and small cakes. Tastes of all the tasty food. Feelings of all the presents, foods, and trees. On Christmas Day, everyone putting on a smile, giving presents to those whom you cared about. Festive aura all the places. Also white Christmas, where everywhere is covered with snow. Little bit of chilliness in warm clothes or houses.

I see an image of a small white and pink lonely flower alone on an empty field that goes for miles and miles in the morning. There is also a rainbow in the sky, but a sunny day. The flower is wet and water droplets on its petals and leaves. When the wind blow, the flower tilts its head. Never giving in to the rain nor the wind. The field, however; is as far as your eyes can see. The green field all the way. Running, resting and picnicking on the field on a sunny day can feel like you are in heaven.  When sitting beside and looking at the flower, its as though the flower look back to you, and not lonely anymore.
