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。

Song of Corleone
Beloved songs are like old friends, and I ran into one the other day: the Song of Corleone from Godfather, Brucia la Terra. The song is a Sicilian ballad from the town of Corleone in Sicily. It was Michael Corleone’s favorite, as it reminded him of his first wife, Apollonia. That familiar lyric and melody, like a…

立春
立春，来鸟岛看鸟。落日风起鸟群翩翩，落地如雪，升空如雾，从点连成面，向天空撒开一张生机勃勃的网，声声呼唤，切切入耳，任是无情也动人，无限渲染，仿佛对大地回暖的感应，对春天最崇敬的仪式。带着来自寒冷极地最纯净的问候，最无序本真的舞蹈，来自天地发自肺腑的祝福，二十四节气的新一个轮回开始了。

大寒
大寒了，人间至此冬色尽，转眼岁末年将至。除夕在即，二十四节气已到了最后一节，抬眼已是望春归。年年岁岁花相似，岁岁年年人不同。天寒地冻，水泽腹坚，然而恰恰是在最寒冷的深处孕育着涓涓暖意，渐渐唤醒沉睡储藏一冬的生机和活力，最长情的等待才能换来最珍贵的拥有。又是一年芳草绿，春天在大地深处如期酝酿着。风有约，花不误，岁岁如此，永不相负。

Breathing
Pranayama breathing is one thing I enjoyed learning through yoga. As a dancer, I know how important breathing is connected with movement. One of my teachers even pointed out that I was holding my breath while dancing, I need to activate my breathing more while dancing. In yoga, as part of the ritual, I have…

Own & Being Owned
I was given $500 as a holiday gift, but I have to spend it quickly otherwise I’ll lose it. I was so thrilled, running upstairs and down, looking at my closet, trying to think outside the box, where can I spend it wisely: Clothes? Workout gear? Cosmetics? I have enough clothes, nothing needs to be…

Fall in Love Again
Can you imagine: at 71, went back to work; 96 broke up with boyfriend; 103 grand opening of a personal photography exhibition? That’s a Japanese lady, who lived into a legend. Everyone was a child once, most of us lost touch with it as we grew up, and very few fortunate ones keep that child…
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.
