4 a.m. on the last day of 2019. a good time to recap some wonderful moments before entering a new decade

certainly a very special Christmas week. full of sweet surprises, new connections…

star war – last episode. not particularly impressive yet still a movie with positive messages : that despite our inherent nature of a dark side, we still can choose to overcome it with conscious choice. even though / maybe esp. when we r deeply unconscious

morning jogging seaside science park. very sunny days. beautiful sea.. followed by outdoor brunch + warm sun 🙂

opened present from and with daughter on boxing day – a precious handmade wonderful notebook made in Nepal from NY. waaa!

attended / arranged unexpected gatherings very last minute . turned out excellent connections with people never met this life. long /natural / deep conversations..

pranic healing – 3+ hour blessings session to the world on Christmas day

chi lin – the family of our help from phillipines . lovely p.m, so blessed with much sunlight

christmas dinner and photos at club house – another spontaneous meet up turned out well. divine reconciliation. recording happy moments with lovely tree, snowmen, santa..

a dog to be healed. goodies shared with helpers in vicinity

the peak : great exercise going a big circle, impressive sunset and dusk to go with plain congee, pinapple bun

ferry ride to TST, greeted by big Christmas trees at Ocean Terminal, followed by good veggie foods at green common.. the tall lighted Moose outside cultural centre…

meanwhile 2 new shops opened at the mall near our home providing good options and much aliveness. long term no go eateries re visited..

time to rest.. continue all goodies in dreams…

a truly blessed dec., excellent prelude of 2020

Blessings be to all

it was saddening to see the big toucan yesterday p.m.. bored. unmoved. “curled up”

i guess if it is given a choice, it would rather be free than to be well fed though it means it might be killed/ injured / hungered…

reminds me of another saying that ships r meant to be in the ocean, rather than at the shelter, though that would guarantee safety

same for human, just we might create an invisible cage for ourselves over time, consciously / unconsciously by living too comfortably / “secured”

yet life keeps challenging us, as to all forms.

we can choose to walk to / being dragged to paradise

to accept, even appreciate all challenges is the key. for this will help us live more fully, and certainly make us stronger and vibrant.

may all beings have the freedom to choose, and the wisdom to choose wisely.

Blessings be to all

it was certainly a super blessed trip. early dec. Hangzhou can be very cold. yet with almost 2 weeks consecutive sunlight and not much wind, it turned out to be a “fake winter”.

most amazingly many trees just started to turn yellow/ red. yet within a week / days leaves fell off / curled and dried up…

it was an unfolding of a short lived wonderful natural beauty. a big reminder of impermanence of all forms.

i brought along the newly bought waist bag just in case i might jog in the morning. turned out i went out over a week daily despite the cold. wearing gloves, hats… a big break through for someone who is used to very warm weather and does not have the habit of jogging.

it was lovely to greet the morning sun by the river while stretching to cool down, followed by a hot breakfast 🙂

did not plan esp. to visit anywhere, yet god has arranged for us challenging experience of “rock climbing ” and sweet surprises like night time light show by the river, buffet with the sun…

though towards the end of the trip i got infected by strong flu virus, it was a truly blessed return trip and efficient settling down. events / people that were thought to be challenging turned out very well.

and finally, after much hard work, can expect a quiet and relaxed winter solstice tomorrow.

more light will follow

Blessings be to all
