lunar calendar 8/15, my favourite chinese festival. normally represents something like this :

on a cool cloudless night, family get together for dinner before having a good stroll. children will bring their lanterns / play with candles… some may bring mooncake, have picnic in a park / open space, appreciating the bright round moon, have fun till at least mid night.

with such a special 2020, this yr’s festival is bound to be very unusal.

today, lunar 8/14, the eve of 8/15, which also coincide with the national day of prc, feel more like the day before some big changes.

i was lucky enough to have very hot sunny period at noon so as to move a while at beach. even some quiet time at the podium around 2 p.m. to have a sip of tea and bread before coming home.

then later p.m, managed to re connnect with some long time no talk friends and relatives.

before evening meditation / chanting, i watched rain coming from afar, getting heavier and heavier as night falls.

at times so big that visibility is almost zero. all blank white.

in just a few hours, yellow rainstorm warning was issued, followed by red, then black. . lightning and thunder almost non stop

certainly the most rainy 8/14 as far as i remember

at this time of writing, the sky is still blinking and roaring though rain eased a bit

may we all fasten our seat belts. be ready for what might come along. and handle with extra calmness, tact, strength, wisdom…

we shall sail through the eye the needle to a more promising new earth

blessings be to all

a few words to my daughter before too late / too busy later

again, most importantly, THANK YOU FOR COMING! hahahaaha

when u were just born, u taught me how to love unconditionally and put another’s first, then 20+ yrs later, putting ourselves first / setting boundaries / saying no! hahahaha

u have demonstrated tremendous courage, flexibility, adaptability, ability to learn a lot and fast, tenacity in dealing with all kinds of people, confidence, full acceptance of yrself, great calmness in chaotic situations, great self knowledge, knowing exactly what u do / dont want and go after it without hesitation.

i see in u, a brave warrior; a quick witted octopus; an excellent PR director; a calm, grounded, joyful, talented artist fully involved and totally connected to the source of creation; a slow cow; a fast leopard; a wise sage; a great lover of music, food , nature, animals, plants…; a thrifty rich lady ; a dont-mind attitude to all used products; a great magician to turn all “useless” materials into great artwork!

a deep love of life and ability to enjoy it so much that all else become relatively insignificant

u have taught me it’s ok to be dirty / carry less / disconnect / be different and stand out / not to “do good” … and most importantly , that iconic chris evan’s ahahahahahahah! certainly a big help / tool to handle challenging people / situations

thank you for bearing with me esp .these almost 2 yrs.

truly glad to see u thrive even under challenging times / places / circumstances that u dont really prefer

u certainly have completed the master class in life and graduated with 1st class honour, just at the age of 20+!

may u keep shining wherever u go, whatever u do, whoever u r with, to bring more love, joy, peace, light-heartedness to the world…

much love and blessings to all yr future adventures 🙂

one very important lesson after decades of personal experience : the distinction between “good” and “bad” usually very blur. can change quickly over time. very often appear together.

what seems so good at the beginning can turn out as a great challenge; what considered “not good”, not so much as expected after all.

people we trusted 100%, never double, fully open our hearts to after decades, might one day reveal secrets that have been kept for yrs. in fact they might have never treated us the same.

places, people, habit, activities, possessions,… that we once thought so important to us might not be that indispensable. in fact we might feel much lighter after letting go

things / situations that most people considered good .e.g marriage, being financially supported, have a good job, nice car… might actually be sweet traps to tie one down.

2 sides of the same coin go hand in hand :

with stability, we lose flexibility/ opportunities to take other options

in partnership /marriage / employment… we lose much / at least some of our freedom

being exposed to some goodies all the time, we tend to look for better goodies, thus likely greater disappointment

in being healed / care of all the time, we lose our ability to look after/ heal ourselves..

having someone to depend upon, we become less and less independent

“disasters” / shocks turned out to be blessing in disguise / necessary evils

“success” / “achievement” later proved to be too costly…

this is not to say we cannot have goals / preferences / working hard towards something we want / like.

just that yin / yang often shift quickly as people / situation / perspectives change.

to fully accept what is, focus on the good, while remaining faithful that all happen for a reason and all is well will sure lighten us up.

may we all drop our seriousness, laugh more, enjoy all circumstances that we co create, so as to light up not only our lives, but others

i never thought there will be subscribers nor someone leaving a comment. in fact not sure if this blog will reach anyone at all.

so sure very surprising to find out accidentally there r 10 subscribers! hahaahah

a warm welcome and thank you to u all

sure there is no co incidence that we connect

u all very likely r light workers who r meant to spread love and light

may u all enjoy reading. and hope it helps / uplifts u a little to continue this challenging / exciting journey of life.

to know that there is someone , somehow, connected / resonate is truly amazing, that probably is the ultimate wonder of existence : not for what u know, can do, possess, experienced, certainly not how u look , nor yr background, education level…. but only for who u r. yr very existence / essence identity / deep i as Eckhart called it.

may we all connect more often to the Source / the One Consciousness so that we can channel more goodies to mother earth and co create a better world

we met him 11 yrs ago. absolutely unplanned, unexpected.

he hosted a healing circle at the busiest district in hk every thu. p.m. , certainly an oasis in a desert.

he watched our daughter grow from a teenager to young adult

we were never friends in private, only meet up once a week. the session is open to public free. we normally start with some casual chats, followed by a period of silence where people can lie down / sit as they wish and take turn to “heal” / “receive healing”. then it was sharing time when everyone can choose to talk about the experience. the session normally ends with forming a big circle, holding hands physically / energetically, giving gratitude and all goodies back to the universe.

it was amazing to see how people responded over the years. some feel nothing at all, while others, can’t help tears / saying thank you loud / feeling heat / movement of chi / simply very peaceful,… and most of the time, so relaxed that many fell asleep! sometimes snoring! ahahahah

last yr, he was really sick and had to stop hosting the session. last week, i was told he passed away about 3 months ago, at the age of 72. it was such an honour to have co created much wonderful experience with him during the last decade of his physical life.

and i am quite sure, he was behind many of the rainbows that i saw very frequently lately.

here r some of his teachings that i shall remember and share with anyone who might be reading this :

let go of fear (certainly takes lots of courage and a big heart to stay close to strangers and give love, esp. as quite many r not very well physically / emotionally / mentally)

let go of techniques (while there r many healing techniques e.g. reiki , pranic healing, … he always insisted we do not use any even if we know. only many yrs later when i connected with Eckhart 2nd time that i realised it is the highest form of healing indeed : with presence.)

be grateful and give back to the universe (simply with thoughts and hearts)

healers heal thyselves

spontaneity : he never prepares, but allow all participants to say whatever he / she feels like. the open, care free atmosphere very often solicit honest / deep conversations that benefit all. all r willing to share some personal experience / thoughts/ views …making the session very healing at every level.

L J P ))))) (stands for love, joy and peace, radiating to the universe! ahahahahah)

i am sure he is watching while i am writing this. a BIG THANK YOU for being in this physical body for 72 yrs.

wishing him and his loved ones all the best in their future endeavours.

very often wordless to see how things turned out perfectly fitting into one another

it was a very last minute decision to go late evening with daughter to a shopping mall to get a new vacuum cleaner. to our very surprise almost all cafes were full, a normal tue. night. . so we decided to buy salad and juice and eat at the outdoor deck of the mall.

it was already 830pm when we arrived. to our very surprise, there were no one. but the big musical fountain was on! + lively music. it has been a long long time since we saw it operates.

husband and i used to work in same company 30 yrs ago with the same musical fountain at the centre of the mall. much later they moved it outdoor to a deck on top floor. since then we seldom visit nor see it works.

colourful lights with water flowing.. + super lovely crescent moon hanging above + trees , bats,… good salad juice…

almost like we having our own private party! ahhaahah

we finished our foods, took a few pictures, and shortly after the fountain stopped. only then do we realised it probably operates only for that 30 mins. every night, if not shorter.

we said thank you to the universe then head towards last minute shopping. just to find out the shop that was supposed to close at 10 was closed.

rather disappointed, we planned to leave, just to see there was another shop still open, selling a few very simple models, …we got one 5 mins. before it closed at 930. just to discover later that it was really a good deal : cheap, light, with free accessories…god has chosen the best for me and saved me much research and time !

absolutely a wonderful experience to remember

sometimes it’s not easy to keep faith when all doors seem closed. yet with more practice, full acceptance of what is / a great determination to make every situation / experience a positive one, we most likely will be led by our higher minds to wonders beyond the physical mind can imagine.

may we all flow. and be amazed by all magic

certainly magical

i went the 2 small beaches almost daily this week. blessed with window periods between rains / low tide / no one / very quiet beach goers..

to be able to share quiet presence with all human / birds/ trees/ wind / waves, sand.. absolutely honoured.

there were lady who took beloved dog for a swim; single man sitting quietly looking at the sea / man fishing in shallow water, alone, a big egret not far standing equally still; grandma taking granddaughter to play with sand;…

yet the most light hearted probably is to see a middle aged couple arriving, with the lady yelling out so happily “oh, we have not been to a beach for a long time”! and the man took off his shirt shortly after to “taste” the water! ahahahahah

we all turned back to kids in the cuddle of nature.

i had the privilege and honor to free move while everyone enjoying themselves. how harmony, joyful, expressive, releasing, … naturally grateful.

may we all be able to enjoy abundance in “simple form”. then this world will certainly be more wonderful

Blessings be to all

when greeted by snow white clouds at sunrise

when a horizontal rainbow over the mountain and sea appeared in front of your eyes

when blessed with sunny / no rain / light rain periods to exercise at the beach between rainstorms

moving freely at the pier with the sea in front, sun on the right and moon on the left

when u look up at the deer artwork u always visited, a rainbow cloud is smiling right in front

a good shower after much sweat

a hug of too too after shower

a sip of tea / herbal drink / simple healthy foods at level 59

sitting at an amphitheatre enjoying simple foods, with sun at the back, sea in front, no wind, temp. just right. .. quiet / active adults / kids sharing your presence, no conversation yet recognising each other and each enjoying his / her own activities, taking a nap/ rest, scooter, running….

when, after some crazy outpour of emotions, u r finally able to let go of something u thought so important / indispensable, shedding part of the ego, leaving the past and move on

when u remember Eckhart said, “when the ego weeps, the soul rejoices”

when u finally realised your worth and learn to put yourself first

when u know many others are doing their way to encourage others

when u can still mediate / chant at home during challenging periods and severe weather…

when one can write peacefully at home with healing music while lightning keeps shining outside

when u know, and u keep sowing the seeds of love, joy and peace, though not knowing how far reaching it might be

may we all recognise, appreciate and be always blessed with wonderful moments, and continue to light up the world with much goodies!

a month before mid-autumn festival. already quite a special full moon when weather changed drastically within a few hours.

a hot sunny morning when i exercised at a beach. followed by strong wind, rain, thunder just 1.5 hours later. wind so strong that the balcony door could not be fully closed! our plan for a p.m. trip delayed for an hour, just to turned out to be perfect, with daughter and me sitting at the park enjoying shake shack mushroom burger right with he setting sun shining in front.

following day, even more dramatic. i planned for a visit to petrol station to feed our car first, then some outdoor exercise. there were no sign or rain at all at the time i get ready to leave home, in fact quite sunny, so i put on suntan, sunglasses, non water-proof sports shoes.

only about 10 mins. on the way to the station, it began to pour, lightning strike right in front, sky to ground, loud thunder, … spectacular but quite scary. …i still managed to fill car with petrol but need to turn back home as weather was really bad.

just about 15 mins. away, no rain. some thunder, but sky quite clear. i ended up had a meal then guided to a nearby beach for a good move. rain just stopped totally , water very receded, leaving large piece of land with not many people. … amazing.

only after sometime did i realise how lucky i was not caught up in the traffic. there were accidents around the area i planned to go, and floods near the petrol station….

when the pendulum shifts between extremes fast, we’d better surrender and go with the flow with gratitude. having faith that our higher mind will always guide us to the best regardless of what our physical mind thinks.

same for the collective.

what we considered so unfair, unbelievable, brutal, … all unconscious thoughts/ words / deeds.. probably the necessary evils that lead to a greater awakening.

may we all stay the centre, grounded, embrace and watch the storm goes by, so as to welcome a new earth
