Playlist
A friend is asking for my playlist. Feel flattered, someone likes my taste. Playlists actually show your edges, dance your joy, weep your sorrow, walk your walk.

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…
