  • Declutter

    In the morning, I did some decluttering and cleaning, it felt good. Even though it seems so trivious, but just one spot, one corner starting to shine, to come alive. It’s like a moving meditation, little by little you polish, like the same action working onto your heart, little by little your heart opening more…

  • Once in a Blue Moon

    Mark the calendar, it’s the last day of May, 2026. You are here, now! Reading. Breathing. Mending chores of life. That itself worth celebrating! Cherish May, something sweet, something sour, something puzzles, something lingers. The most important you are part of it, that only happens once in a blue moon.

  • Sunflower Field

    Standing in front of an invigorating sunflower field, the sunflowers are like smiling faces looking up towards sun. Accept without any condition, every inch you give in becomes part of you and your power, your heart becomes more soft and spacious when it’s open, especially open to light and love. Ultimately, love is to embrace…

  • Not Alone

    Last night I dreamed of getting lost, couldn’t find the road I started with. This morning, heard a line from a song” Don’t know which door I passed”, and I know that someone had the same dream. I’m not alone, we are in this together.

  • A Beautiful Moment

    When the last rays of the sun lights up the highest tip of grapevine, the world softens its edges, time seems melting down into the light. Everything else can wait, this beautiful moment won’t.

  • Columbia Blue Jay & Wine Table

    We haven’t been back to Columbia State Historic Park for awhile, on the same road after experiencing so much, the road seems different. It’s carrying my experiences now, that’s why, even though it’s same road, each time feels different. On our way out, we passed by an abandoned railway bridge, still hanging there like a…

  • Lesser Fullness

    May 21 is Lesser Fullness or Grain Buds, the eighth Chinese solar term according to the ancient Chinese calendar. During this term, winter wheat is becoming full but yet to ripen completely, so it is called lesser fullness. In this celebration, we cherish the portion that is full, while embracing the portion yet to be…

  • Shadow

    Finishing my morning meditation, opened my eyes, saw my own shadow and suddenly touched by my shadow next to the tree leaves’ shadow, like a painting. I’m not superior to the tree, we are both part of the cosmic play into being, grounded on earth, receiving the same morning sun, reflecting our shadows onto the…

  • On our hiking in the mountain, it’s a new trail, not sure where it will lead. Suddenly there’s green canopy, with sun trying to penetrate, sunlight is washing down the trail ahead, making it welcoming and inviting. The sound is also dramatic, the wind is blowing hard enough to shake and clap all the leaves…

  • Life is a Beautiful Thing

    “All things seem possible in May.” Edwin Way Teale Flowers are blooming in all directions in every corner of spring; radishes are sprouting out of the dirt, pushing up towards their new sky; a Grosbeak is hovering over the violet lupine carpet, spreading out its vibrant wings like an eye on the meadow. Life is…
