Every Yard Is a Story
Every yard is a story. I can pick up their personalities: Some are tidy, clean cut bushes, well maintained grass, stepping stones specially designed into certain shape; some are naturalist, bushes thriving into a little jungle, yet you can see the layers and how they each manage to get the sunshine; some are free style,…

Flamingo
Felt a little bit off this morning, even people’s normal behavior seems irritating, decided to jog it off. Even jogging seems a little off, my breathing is out of rhythm with my steps. I really need to concentrate on getting myself back on track. I tried to loosen up, looked around, in a front yard…

Everything Is Happening
Iris are blooming in the warm spring sun, their delicate petals shiver with the breeze. It’s Friday afternoon, the little breeze is just enough to spread the orange blossoms’ fragrance, filling up the yard. It’s kind of sweet, rich and continuous, like ripples of water, layer after layer. It’s as if the orange tree is…

Aurora Moment
It’s 5 o’clock in the morning, I woke up feeling a kind of joy, delightful for no reason, just feeling happily alive. Normally, when I wake up, I always come immediately to reality, which day of the week is this, what’s on my to do list, etc.. But for the first time, I awoke just…

Go Life, Go
In my morning meditation: feel life going through me, like my Iris in the garden stretching in the sun. We are no different from the plant, only we have a mind, we just feel as if superior. Breathe, embrace, thrive in your own space, enjoy life implementing through you. We giggle, we shed tears, we…

A Human Moment
On my way down the mountain, just rounded a curve and met a dramatic sun-blast face: sunlight is penetrating through a dark cloud band. Its resilience shines through, hovering over a piece of the world down under. I wonder what it is like for the people directly under the sun while looking up? A reminder…

A Date with Spring
Friday night, there’s still light outside, daylight is getting longer, and it’s warmer. Rarely, I am caught up on all the things on my to-do list, and decided to sit in the yard. For a moment, I felt guilty, even grabbed a book to read. As if I’m wasting time if do nothing, just sit…

Making Sourdough
While watching the Blue Zone documentary, I got inspired for baking my own Ikaria sourdough. Then I watched Saana Vaara, a Finland girl baking her own sourdough in a cozy room during the polar night, a frozen dark world outside, warm and cozy inside. I decided to learn how to bake my own sourdough. I…

Valentine’s Gift
Today’s sunset afterglow was amazing! Totally unexpected, all is dark and cloudy, people almost totally gone, giving up hope for a picturesque sunset. Close to 6pm, I saw a hint of rosy cloud show up, and my hope went up. In less than 5 minutes, the sky was totally burning, with the reflection on the…

The Snow Moon Is Coming
The Snow Moon is coming, today is the last day of January. Life marks its calendar. On our way out to see the birds, we saw a pair of coyotes running across the road ahead of us in bright daylight, in the marsh area. The Ross Geese are back, singing their winter carol. Something about…
My Journey
I like to map my journey, keep track of my path, which includes my mind and thoughts.
This blog is to jot down things that matter to me, how I arrived where I am and how I process my stride. This is to leave my mark for this trip, for similar souls down the road that are meant to connect, through time or space.
This site is devoted to my father, the person who led me to this world and helped me to find my place.
