  • Whisper of Spring

    The whisper of spring echoes between the tall grass and the low branches of an oak tree, and paints the vibrant lupine in the shade of the warm sun. Dreams leak out of the dreamer, time escapes from the timer. When wind softens the sunbeam, every angle becomes a portal, leading beyond time. A moment…

  • Sweet Peas

    Rising sun hitting on sweet peas, light up the purple petals and fine hairs glowing against the morning sun. There’s something tender but resilient, called life; there’s something fresh but ancient, called nature. Start all over again, juice up, pump up, Good morning, world!

  • Life Glitters

    In my night stroll, an Oleander is blooming red hot at night, like a glowing light in the dark. The Grapevine’s shadow is dancing in rhythm with the light breeze. Nature doesn’t sleep, life glitters where you shine the light.

  • Life Has Its Own Agenda

    May is a beautiful season, a season to plant, and enchant a flower or a thought。Honeysuckle are intoxicating the yard; on the apple tree, some blossoms still linger, some already fruiting; Mama dozing off in the warm spring sun; neighbor’s mariachi music running for the late Cinco de Mayo party or early Mother’s Day celebration……

  • Mother’s Day

    Mother’s Day reminds us where we come from. Before we are poised and confident adults, we wobble and struggle through childhood knowing that behind us, there’s a voice we can always hear, near or far: ” You are loved, just the way you are.” That voice soften edges along the path, and paints the sky.

  • Spring Flower Sourdough

    Love scoring my sourdough, that is joy overflow in action. I’m no painter, this is probably the only drawing I do, but carving on the dough gives me a sensation of creating. I listen into my heart first, then apply to my hands. It’s spontaneous and transcends like morning dew. That connection makes my heart…

  • My Flower is Coming

    The sun gives the bunny a flower, I’m sure my flower is coming.

  • Jogging in the Rain

    This morning it’s drizzling and I was hesitant to jog. But the temptation is so irresponsible, out I went. It’s not heavy rain, just enough to moisten the ground. The rain is shying people away, so I almost have the entire street to myself. Flowers being washed by the light rain, more vibrant, dark clouds…

  • I’m Available Now

    After just 3 days in the hospital, home looks renewed, life seems refreshed. Time in the hospital is a different time, it’s no longer clock time, but chores time: meal time, lab time, exam time, waiting time… Most is waiting time, as you are no longer in charge of your time anymore. But the home-bound…

  • Lessons from Ta Yue

    It’s been 3 days since Ta Yue’s passing, it seems like a lifetime without his presence. I started to reflect about time with him: he doesn’t have a lot of toys, he simply carried his toy wherever he goes, he doesn’t need much to be happy. Zhui Feng likes to somersault like a gymnist, Ta…
