Life is for Sowing
“Life is for sowing, the harvest is not here. ” Vincent Van Gogh We are all planters, in the garden of life. Once you know it’s not your job to harvest, you can concentrate on planting. Pure joy!

That which God said to the rose
” That which God said to the rose and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty, He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more beautiful.”- Rumi Wow! Rumi has his way to deliver his heart, across hundreds of years, like the rose, still fresh.

Pinnacles at Dusk
Walking into the mountains at dusk. That moment, when soft light glows on half of the cliff, trees are dancing with the breeze, standing like a bonsai on the contour of rocks. Different birds starting their serenade for the nightfall. That moment is almost sacred, makes you feel like stepping into a different realm, where…

Life is a bowl of soup
On my morning jog, saw this setting in the neighborhood, so touched by someone that has such a heart-warming gesture, especially that little bouquet vase, really warmed my heart. Someone has a passion to life, knows how to enjoy life. Then I saw a Realtor sign, house for sale. How smart! We should love our…

Embrace the Void
“A house is useful not because of its walls, but because of the space they enclose.” – Lao zi I always find abandoned houses fascinating, maybe it’s the essence that finally emanates when only a skeleton is left. The essence of the house stays the longest, like the soul of a house, like fine wine,…

Ancient Wind
There’s something about standing here at the entryway of the Whitney Portal. Just be still and listen. The mountain doesn’t need to announce its existence, just being there is overwhelmingly enough. Water just sings its way down to the valley. And that wind! That ancient wind that blows from the high Sierras to the mighty…

Sam’s House & Wild Horses
I did a post about Eastern Sierra Hwy 395 from my recent trip, including the landmark Sam’s Cabin on 395 under the glow of sunset. Yesterday I suddenly got a DM from a lady asking me if she could share my picture with the Sam House? It’s her grandparents house. I was surprised a bit,…

Travel – Yosemite
We’re on the road again. Passing by a dilapidated town: Chinese Camp, where only the store still carries the town name. The list of commodities echoes the past. Further down the road, Groveland is a thriving little town, architecture in all different shapes, high and low, speaking out the original mountain town character, yet somehow…

草莓月
暮色渐合，一轮初升的明月，在辗转迂回的山间时隐时现，终于豁然开朗，从天边的玫瑰色中跳跃而出，明亮的黄色泛着粉红，纯净而神圣，又一轮明月夜圆满伊始。山壁岩石的走向依然清晰，娓娓地讲着地球年轻的故事。追随着月亮，我们上了395号风景线，草莓月爬上树梢，松树的轮廓被月亮照出灵性的剪影；当月亮在山的崖壁正上方，如天地神龛，又如巨幅壁画从天而降。天地都渲染在月华如水的世界，高山，老树，湖面和我一样，都沐浴其间，不分彼此，分享着同一轮古老而年轻的草莓月。 海拔渐低，温度渐高，谷底升起一层淡淡的薄雾，薄雾下是我们要去的小镇，灯火在雾中闪烁，渐渐我们也融入雾中。明月东升那一瞬已恍如隔世。

I’m Already on My Way
“If we stop for a moment, it is possible to perceive a pattern in our lives, the motivators that have influenced us become more obvious. We’re able to see life unfolding from both ends at once, coming into the present moment. But until we have got to a certain point of realization, this is not…
