Ta Yue Is Gone
Ta Yue, (Moon Rider) is gone, riding his way to the moon now. My four legged friend, wearing his silky tuxedo outfit. When I was holding his paws this morning, he suddenly woke up, and started cookie dough on me, like when he was little, maybe he remembered his younger age. That was his farewell…

Ta Yue
One of my cats is very sick, getting close, it’s a boy cat, named Ta Yue (which means Moon rider). He is not my favorite, his sister, Zhui Feng (means Wind Chaser) is more personable, with a cute personality. So I am shocked that I’m so sad. I thought I’m immune to loss of loved…

Master Who Lives Inside You
It happened again! At the end of the yoga class I was teaching, as I was wrapping up class with a few moments of reflection, I opened my eyes and saw all my students were still deep into their inner zone, eyes shut with peaceful bliss on their faces. What happened? Was it the music?…

During my morning meditation, I am so naturally feeling immersed into the zone, as if the rain is drizzling on me and through me, like a caressing by nature.…

Then, with a blink, two blooming pink peonies immediately sprang to my eyes, bright pink, like two sisters standing in a black and white world. At that moment, my mind wasn’t…

Include
Include is a powerful word. When I meditate, I tend to be drawn towards pleasant sounds, like birds chirping, the wind chime’s melodic ding, while screening out the unwanted sounds, like a noisy car zooming around the corner. I realized I was subconsciously labeling the sounds while listening. To purify my meditation, I should include…

An Enchanting Moment
Love to sit in the yard at dusk, doing nothing, emptying the mind so I can have space to soak it in with all my senses. It’s the most tender time of the day, watching the sky slowly darken, like the stage curtain lowering before switching to next scene. Solar lights flicker on one by…

Valentine’s Gift
Today’s sunset afterglow was amazing! Totally unexpected, all is dark and cloudy, people almost totally gone, giving up hope for a picturesque sunset. Close to 6pm, I saw a hint of rosy cloud show up, and my hope went up. In less than 5 minutes, the sky was totally burning, with the reflection on the…
