a peaceful p.m to remember

it was a monday afternoon after quite a chaotic sunday and turbulent morning.

somehow at the eve of 23rd anniversary of hk’s return to prc, passing of the very controversial national security law, all kinds of military rehearsal…escalating tension between US / china…, and many prc cities flooded, risks of the big dam collapsing…. global energies certainly very unstable

i decided to take a 20 mins. walk to the seaside even though very hot.

not long after i set off i realised the sun was right at my back, while the moon, like a smiling eye, right in front!

it was so hot that not many people were at seaside. the normal kite flyers not there. yet i was blessed with a small covered area facing the sea to move a while, freely with the waves, cloud, sun, moon, mountain…

i have always been interested in all kinds of body movements : various types of dance, yoga, tai chi…

after 2 decades, finally letting go of all forms / rules / structures…

it was more “forced” than a conscious choice.

yet somehow release me from all pressure / need to conform / to be right / exact…

to be able to allow body to move freely without thoughts is truly a blessing.

kind of like moving meditation

and it’s good for the body, too! promoting circulation of qi, clearing blockages…

truly a blessings in disguise, when all doors closed, another opens..

back home, it was a wonderful spectacular dusk with pretty sunset and the whole sky light up by pink, orange, yellow clouds afterwards….

again, nature is an excellent healer, we only need to open up to accept this free abundance 🙂

may we all have greater connection with mother earth / nature. the vastness/ beauty of which certainly reminds us that the problems we have on hands probably not as big / serious as we thought.

with this always and forever support, we sail through another challenging day, knowing dawn will come for sure after the darkest hours.

memories

our brain is such a complicated organ mostly still unknown

how and why we remember certain events / moments / people / visual images / smell / sound… for decades is hard to explain.

the challenge is, while some of these memories are sweet, others might be painful. and we kind of re experience the pain to a certain degree every time we simply think about it.

to let go / delete that is much easier said than done. almost like impossible.

we might still be angry / sad / regretted about what happened / did not happen decades ago, what someone some said / did not say….

even for more pleasant memories, it seems to bring about some sadness too, esp. when we want to relive / repeat that wonderful moment but cannot do now. e.g. someone passed away, the place no longer exist…

to hang on often in the past, even though it was sweet, prevent us from living in the present.

we might not be able to delete these memories as we wish, yet with greater awareness, we can have greater resistance against being drawn away from the present unconsciously and fall into the same trap over and over again.

like old files, they r here to stay, until someday we do not remember.

to acknowledge and be grateful for them is the key.

“good” and “bad” all for a reason, lessons learnt, karmic debt repaid…

“the best is yet to come” might help us a little to jump out of the past, yet again pulling us away from the present to the future and always put us in a “waiting mode” .

may we all have greater consciousness, so that we can be free from the past and future, thus truly enjoy the joy of being this present moment brings.

Blessings be to all

nature’s gifts

we all r enchanted by rainbows. not only for its beauty, but also because it is so rare and short lived.

seeing a section of it already uplift us.

that’s why it’s such a blessing to see full rainbow in the morning over the sea 2 days in a week!

some even saw double rainbows.

sure a big boost / encouragement from the universe amidst all choas / big risks

what’s even more amazing is, these nature’s gifts, be it wonderful rainbows / amazing sunrise / sunsets , or even the whole sky simultaneously full of black and white clouds + rain + blue sky… is available to all free, yet cannot be purchased with money. only lucky ones / those who resonate have the privilege to watch.

the universe is fair and abundant. it is up to all of us to open up and receive.

it also reminds us constantly of change, to embrace all, sunlight, rainstorm, lightning, rainbows… knowing that this too shall pass, no “good” nor “bad” lasts long.

may we all have more space in our daily busy schedule simply to look up to the sky, and be amazed by the constant blessings / msgs from the abundant universe.

amidst rainstorms

it was 4 consecutive days of heaving rain and intense lightning. spectacular light show and scary thunder.

yet we were so blessed with no rain / sunny periods in between.

miraculously we still managed to have short window period of “beach time” / outdoor jogging / free move / walk / car wash..

today there is longer period of sunshine

rain was super heavy at other nearby cities, flooding many.

may this already be the “3 dark days” some predicted.

new ways to suppress freedom has generated global support / concern. more powerful / rich stand out to voice / fight..

meanwhile, the whole america is focusing on excessive police power.

a much deeper conflict / inequality among races / those in power is unveiled.

even in democratic countries, those holding weapon can easily turn it against their own people

a transformation certainly needed . how only god knows.

focus on the result : that each of us become so conscious and loving that no one / group is needed to “enforce peace” . everyone so disciplined and caring that no law is needed.

we respect each other’s choice / differences and co-exist in harmony

all can be resolved by communication, not violence

everyone enjoying his/ her fair share / respect ..

there is enough for everyone…

as above , so below

we pray for the manifestation of heaven on earth rapidly properly

so be it so be it, so it is

mask and bra

4 months into the pandemic. most people seem so used to wearing a mask that it has become part of their body. even when the threat seems tapered, and weather getting very hot, most people still hold onto wearing a mask and “look down upon ” those who do not. some even so fearful that they put on eye / face shields.

like bra, certainly uncomfortable, yet over time, most seem numbed / get used to the suffering and it has become such a social norm that no one dare not to follow.

it’s interesting to see when people still go swim in swimming pool / wear shorts/ slippers,… exposing much part of their bodies / even sharing water long time yet believe that a mask can protect them from getting infected.

this is not to say a mask is useless. sure it helps esp. during enclosed crowded places, yet to to wear it while staying outdoor with sunlight fresh air / expect others to do the same is kind of intrusion of privacy / personal freedom

it probably is the wish of many women to be “given the freedom” not to wear bra if they do not feel like doing so, and not to be seen as flirting / strange / impolite / weird / even criminal .

after all , the deeper reason for conforming probably is self protection. as most men r so “easily ignited” seeing a female body.

in this sense, the urban society truly is certainly way degenerated compared to many indigenous tribes, where most women do not cover up their breasts.

may we all have greater consciousness, so that we move onto de conditioning, rather that creating more restrictions for ourselves esp. as those measures no longer that necessary.

right now fear has permeated the whole world. so much that most believe a mask will do more good than harm.

i look forward to seeing more brave and sensible people wearing a big smile on their face, rather a mask.

Blessings be to all
