Life Calendar
A friend of mine mentioned on his blog, “The Apollo 9 mission launched 56 years ago today — on 3 March 1969” (Residentialcruising.com). I was shocked by his memory and accuracy on dates. That reminds me that another friend of mine, often notes things like “today is anniversary of D Day”, or other European battles even…

Travel Light, Go Far
It’s that time of the year, the Ross Geese and Sandhill Cranes are flying north again. We always go back to the wetlands and check, make sure they are really gone. We were a little late today, dusk light already painting the landscape into a silhouette. I was feeling disappointed that no birds are left; they…

Heaven is at the Moment
Saturday morning, the sun is brewing spring in the yard: peach trees starting to blossom here and there, like a dancing note composing music. A sleepy cat is sunbathing on the fence, her favorite spot. Back on New Year’s Day, she had a pink jacket on, stunned me with her new look. Now whenever I see…

Valentine’s Day
Yesterday was Chinese Lantern Festival, lunar January 15th, which marks the end of Lunar New Year celebration. In ancient times, the towns would be all lit up by hundreds of thousands of lanterns, locals all coming out at night to appreciate the lanterns, making for fun crowds and fun night life. Naturally it created such a…

A Waltz Out of Stumbles
Troubles are like rocks, don’t carry them; drop them on the ground to pave your path. Lighten up; unload so you can move forward. My father used to tell his patients “Don’t bring your work issues home, leave work at work.” Once you leave your workplace, you leave your work mind too. That’s so true,…

Birdfeeder
We bought a new birdfeeder for the New Year. Day 1: no birds found it, even though there were birds pecking on the leftover seed on the ground right below it, and they just left. Day 2: Came the brave and smart first one, who discovered the new birdfeeder. The feeder is designed half sealed…

Sleeping Mountain
Yesterday I walked in the mountains, right in-between storms, cold and cloudy, not a popular time for hiking. As reward, I got the mountain all to myself. The moment I stepped on the soft ground, a little damp and covered with thick leaves, I could feel the sleeping mountain underneath, deep and calm, the energy building…

狼月
冬日的山中，月亮依然圆满，照着清瘦的山水。日落月出时分，空山寂静，高树间挂着一轮明月，如剪影般干净明了，如始如终，天地留白，才有偌大的空间，清净四野。 传说中，这个时节，天寒地冻，万物都在休眠，只有狼群在徘徊觅食。每逢十五月圆，印第安人听到狼嚎四野，由此命名狼月。 这里没有狼，但依然有coyote 会时不时彼此呼唤，空山回响，仿佛在辉映山间寒月，远古悠鸣。

Every Moment Counts
Recuperating can be daunting, scary, and seemingly endless. Today I read an article; every moment in life serves its purpose, which should include my recuperation. Because I am right where I should be. That being said, I suddenly get a new perspective of this time: it’s slow time, slow enough that I can learn to use…

Narcissus
Recently I got quite an opportunity to get up early, so I got a chance to see the fresh night, the version of night I rarely got to see. Today, it was 5:00 AM when I stepped out in the yard, it was pitch dark. The neighborhood was all dark and quiet. Nighttime like this sharpens…
My Journey
I like to map my journey, keep track of my path, which includes my mind and thoughts.
This blog is to jot down things that matter to me, how I arrived where I am and how I process my stride. This is to leave my mark for this trip, for similar souls down the road that are meant to connect, through time or space.
This site is devoted to my father, the person who led me to this world and helped me to find my place.
