Eastern Sierra – God’s Playground
Here is where it feels home to me! Where the highest point in continental America meets the lowest; the natural erosion shaped boulders in different sizes spread in the Owens Valley in the most random way, we’re talking size of a house or even bigger, with the backdrop of High Sierra peaks chiseled by ice…

快乐可以来得很突然
昨晚天一擦黑,窗口刚有丝丝凉意,抬眼惊艳:月出东山,尽管草莓满月已过,但橙黄如明镜突然照进屋来,仿佛推窗入画,令人心旷神怡。 一早,太阳只露了个脸把我从床上叫醒,便躲进了云层,尽管没有太阳,但仍暑气闷热。毕竟是仲夏了。夏为大,天地间万物无限生长,生命力旺盛蓬勃,日长夜短,万物不忍浪费时间,多看一眼世界精彩。 起来后忽然听到院里唏倏的声响,以为松鼠又来偷桃吃:太明目张胆了,闹这么大动静,赶快跑出去:竟然是下雨了,硕大的雨点砸在屋顶,噼啪作响,顶着太阳。现在是旱季呀!哪有那么多规矩,精灵如雨,率性从容,得从容处且从容! 美好如月随行,扶窗入框;快乐如雨飘洒,随风入夏。快乐可以来得很突然: 推窗清风入室;抬眼明月入画。

Perfect Moment
I saw these pretty leaves last week in my backyard, excited and can’t wait to see the whole tree turning red, what a perfect moment. This morning, those red leaves had fallen, though some other leaves are still turning red, which reminds me, the perfect moment is now… as perfect as it gets.

Pilgrims in Tibet
I wanted to share this story which I shared with my Yoga class yesterday, the theme was gratitude. Many years ago, I visited Lhasa, Tibet and their downtown: Barkhor Street, like Santana row for San Jose. When we arrived there, it’s packed with vendors and full of people: tourists like us, vendors and bargainers. And…

红蜻蜓
夏天的美好,落在红蜻蜓的翅膀上,山中无所不在的葱茏绿荫,傍晚不眠不休的田野虫唱。夏日星空下暑热渐消的大地上,恣意生长的崴蕤草木仍在向上生长,不分昼夜,生命的无限张力在天地间尽情释放,虫在唱歌,鸟在啁啾,人在倾听,今晚无人入睡,这里是热气腾腾的人间。

春在枝头
不觉中树尖已钻出新绿,鲜嫩水灵,充满着生机,仿佛能看到生命力在一点点涌动,推陈出新,直到惊艳于干涸了一冬的枝头。美好从心底油然而生,一切又重新开始了。 春天的花儿在阳光下闪烁着,晶莹剔透,纯净轻柔,纤尘不染,如玉如丝。美好如斯,初心如雪。春天的故事从这里开始。 等一树花开时的期待才是春天的美好,因为 一切都在来的路上,一切皆有可能。走过冬天的人也像大自然一样走入了春天,焕然一新,步履轻盈。送走了早春三月的雨细杏花香,又迎来了光风霁月的桃花映日红。 过了一冬的黑白世界,突然眼前一亮,生命的色彩,夺目绽放着,令人为之一振,原来世界有这么多新鲜纯净的原色,藏在冬天的深处,只待冬眠一并醒来。当眼睛已习惯了冬天的素笔白描,心还会重新渲染春天的水墨丹青吗? 走入春天,脚步慢些,再慢些。

Conversation with Your Body
After my morning yoga, I started to realize that yoga is the way to open a conversation with my body. From quieting my mind, cleansing my breathing, a channel has been opened up so I can hear what my body is trying to say, and by stretching, releasing, and strengthening, I can talk back to…

A Reason, A Season, A Life Time
Shocked to learn a family friend passed away, he was in his prime time! He was one of the first few people I got to know when I first came to this country. He even offered to sing for our wedding reception with his daughter. At that time, we lived in the South, hot and humid, sweet…

立斜阳
当大自然拿起画笔,人类只有叹为观止。血色黄昏,如火如荼,西边的天空,浸染着水面,尽情燃烧着。 鸥鸟纤纤,翩翩入画,树影葱葱,玉树临风,如卫兵般立尽残阳。美好如浴,铺天盖地,天地用情,万物有灵。立于此情此景,美好不可方物,用心记住这一刻:当时间静止,天地相拥,万物同色,我亦在其中。
