Have a Nice Day
I didn’t wake up right this morning, so decided to jog it out. The house with a cat statue now has a real white cat posing the same way next to the statue. I wonder how does the cat feel about the statue. The house with the dramatic Halloween decorations changed again: the head of…

When Eyes Are Closed
I just finished my morning jog and the morning sun was so attempting, I sat in the backyard and closed my eyes. I hear the deep soulful Oriental instrumental music playing from the house; the wind chime dinging like part of the music adding a note once in a while. I hear the low flying…

Every Jog Is Different
On my jog today I noticed a few different things: the house that is already set up for Halloween got updated, the displays are getting taller. Before, it was tarantula down to earth and a life-sized clown covering his face with motion-sensor hands movement; now it’s a tree height witch with an even taller broomstick…

Every Sunset is Different
Every sunset is different. The sky is different, I’m different. It’s the changing screen of cosmic view; it’s the unstoppable life force. I made a run to the highest open spot yesterday to cheer this spectacular sunset with my heart, echoed by the new rising moon.

Gift from Dream
Yesterday on my way out, I saw some people standing on the sidewalk cutting my flowers. Not again! In spring time I caught a lady cutting my flowers, made quite a distinctive memory. When I was closer, realized it’s our neighbors trimming their own flowers. Whew! Trouble avoided, fight or flight, confrontation or call the…

Timeout
I started jogging a while ago, not sure about my consistency yet, but so far still love to run, so rewarded myself with a pair of jogging shoes. I run slow, not much faster than fast walking, though I still get good sweat. I guess still in zone 2, as I can still talk. I noticed during…

A Moment Like This
There will never be a moment like this: a deer walked out of the woods towards me, carrying the sun behind him, casting a magnificent silhouette of his newly grown antlers, like an angel with wings. “Hello, you are here too!” We said to each other.

Goose Crossing
Waiting for the red light in the middle of downtown, suddenly a goose came wobbling down the crosswalk! I was expecting to see little goslings following behind, but no, just the lone goose. She is obviously confused and lost, fortunately it’s a red light and she is safe for now. But what about when the…

Summer Solstice
Today is Summer Solstice, the longest daylight of the year, just for that it’s worth a celebration: to celebrate our days on earth, to celebrate the longest companionship of the sun, and the beginning of summer. This is a beautiful season: a time suitable for daydreaming; disappearing in the deeply wooded mountains; to zoom in through…

Party
I was invited to a party, a totally different social circle and background. I was nervous to accept, what to talk about, hesitating… I went after all, and enjoyed the party very much. Meeting people from different backgrounds is like opening up different horizons, there’s so much more to talk about beyond our comfort zone.…
