A Timeless Moment
I taught an amazing Yoga class today. It’s my usual weekly yoga class; although some of my regular patrons didn’t even show up. I was prepared for my sequencing, intermediate challenging; I noticed some people were struggling with their balance. I cheered them up and moved on. At the end, even I was tired. After…

Season’s Greetings
Things going through you, they never take you seriously, why do you take things seriously? Be it a puzzle or trouble in life. Once I did a random post, and for whatever reason, got 1.5K likes. I used to think those people who can casually draft a post and draw thousands of likes must be…

Hello September!
I saw the first tarantula this year, it seems like fall is really here, even though Indian Summer still lingers. Fall is the mating season for tarantulas, they walk around actively looking for their mate. This tarantula climbed on a tall blade of grass, slid down like an acrobat, entering the deep grass and disappearing…

Columbia after Dark & a Letter Caught in Time
We went back to Columbia State Historic Park, a gold town of the 1850’s in the Sierras. I was touched by two highlights from this trip. The first is the original hand written Chinese letter from back in 1850’s. It was a letter from a son to his family back in China. From the writing, he…

The First Pomegranate
After a long, exhausting day, I finally was able to sit in the yard to relax into the beautiful summer night. I noticed the first pomegranate on our tree was so ripe it even popped open, exposing all the inside red seeds. I picked it up to give myself a treat. I opened the pomegranate…

Coloma – Discovery of Gold, Business, and Life
We went back to Coloma yesterday. There’s something here I felt connected to: maybe it’s the Sierras, maybe it’s the discovery of gold, maybe it’s the serenity after the madhouse of the gold rush. While standing in front of the Sutter Mill, where in 1848 the first gold flake was found that started an era; how…

Pinecrest Lake
山雨欲来风满湖 天突然黑了 森林里的风横扫一切 人群散去 热闹的湖边安静下来 正遗憾来得不巧 在失望中品着冰淇凌 冰淇凌吃完了 天又慢慢地亮晴了 八月的天 孩子的脸 山上的树林在夕阳下灿烂着 孩子们又回来了 带来了叫声和笑声 湖上划起了一条小船 雨后的夕阳映红了山和湖 宿营地篝火飘起缈缈炊烟 这时湖畔传来了”教父”的主题曲 悠悠的曼德拉前奏 夹着波浪冲岸的水声 这一刻 一切都那么和谐完美 宁静而丰盈 忽然被这个世界的美好 感动: 生命中美好的东西 总是在你最不经意的时候 最没有准备的时候 悄然而至 又稍纵即逝

古老的石头会说话
古老的石头会说话：从前Yokuts印第安人在这里安静地编筐捕鱼，代代相传；1850’s 淘金的人带来了商机，也带来了城市，有了名字：Millerton，成为第一个县法庭所在地。San Juaquin的河水不断泛滥，直到1867年的圣诞夜洪水冲醒了人们的黄金梦，也冲走了Fresno 县的第一个法庭；1872年，南太平洋铁路修到了Fresno，商机随着火车走， 滚滚火车的轰鸣彻底带走了Millerton的商机和原住民。1944年，Friant大坝完工，曾经的Millerton城市沉入湖底，取名Millerton湖。 夏日的Millerton湖一派生机：冲浪游泳的，划船烧烤的，欢歌笑语，有声有色，上演着滚烫的夏天。

Life doesn’t Offer Reservations
This was yesterday’s sunset at the Costco parking lot. When we were done shopping, walking out, saw so many people stopped and looking up, admiring the burning sky, some taking out cellphones to grab the shot. Originally I was hesitant, there’s no scenery, nor landmarks to make it dramatic, it’s just a busy parking lot,…
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.
