coincidentally my cousin’s birthday. great to do know they all doing well despite the lock down.

back here, blessed with 2 consecutive sunny days with low tide around noon. still warm and great for work out on beach. i was blessed with the presence of a like minded friend + a very trustful egret!

today, a sat, i went the small beach late evening unexpectedly.

many people were already there. camping, family with kids, dog, friends singing with microphone and amplifier, …i stayed somewhere further away from where i normally do as the place already very crowded. later on, many more arrived.

it was wonderful to still be able to move / dance freely despite many walked / stayed nearby. interestingly while most people r with masks, they all seem calm, at ease, doing want they enjoyed: painting, photo taking, playing in water / sand, singing, or simply walking, standing to admire the setting sun…

all sorts of visitors : babies, kids, teenager, elderly, locals, foreigners,… no one too alarmed by what others r doing, all blended in harmoniously.

nature certainly has some magical power. it stops our monkey mind so most of us simply look / be in awe. enjoying the vastness of the sky, sound of the waves, gentle breeze, warm setting sun, .. or any activities we love.

by being our true self, we allowed others to do the same

by honoring our uniqueness, we accept and appreciate others’ uniqueness

may we all live in peace, harmony, and celebrate the joy of totality while honoring individuality

Blessings be to all

it feels like more like spring than winter lately. with butterflies always in sight and bauhinia blossoming everywhere.

i was amused always when i see butterflies visiting our home, either out of the window / balcony as we r living at very high levels of high rise apartments. so impressed by how they managed to fly so high from ground level just to say hello.

such a big honour and blessing.

kind of like a constant signal reminding me of a transformation we all r undergoing.

i was visited by bees also very often. sometimes shortly after i arrived beach before starting exercise.

and on the way, butterflies came close to say hello

these small insects might be insignificant to many, yet if we pay attention / gratitude, they seem to have a lot to tell us.

just by their very presence is a blessing. how much trust is needed to stay so close / even land on a moving human being! size of which enormous to them. even big birds dare not come close.

butterflies mean a lot to me. how much pain / patience do they have to endure to transform from a 2D catepillar to a flying, free being.

just by being themselves, they r super inspiring.

just by letting go of fear and come close to human, they spread much love and blessings, beauty, grace…

may we all learn to notice and appreciate various life forms around us . so as to discover the wonder and blessings that is always around.

it is winter already according to lunar calendar. getting more windy yet still can be hot when sun is around

i had the luxury to move. dance. yoga. stretch. roll… by the sea for a few consecutive sunny days. it was a window period of low tide for around 2 – 3 hours around noon. so many lucky ones went to have a walk / lunch / take photos, fly drones…

large pc of land exposed allowing more space for everyone.

while there r still some people yelling/ talk loudly, others mostly quiet. particularly surprising for a sunday morning.

big egrets came by to walk in shallow water.

it was a totally different experience doing some simple exercises when u can see the far away sea while doing sit up, or blue blue sky while back roll , or large pc of soft sandy beach looking to the sides…feeling the warm sun on the back while stretching forward…

such simple yet priceless moments + blessings from the universe

so glad that no violence/ conflicts occur on the anniversary of 11.11.

peace begin with each of us. when we r at peace, so will the world.

may we all learn to talk less. appreciate silence more. have more time alone to connect with our true essence. and trust that by doing so we shall have made a great contribution to a better world.

it was a full moon, in fact, a rare blue moon.

daughter dressed up as a witch with a DIY hat. we walked briefly near where we live. kids dressed up as various characters. it was quite a turbulent night.

5 a.m. + next day, i was greeted by the big round setting moon, reflected so beautifully on the calm sea.

then comes singing birds and pink clouds, rising sun…

such an unforgettable dawn.

i went beach early for some exercises as it was sunday.

blessed by a relatively quiet hour before many more people arrived.

early p.m, we decided to go peak again.

weather was so nice that many still lined up at peak tram station to go uphill around 3 p.m.. we decided to visit a nearby cafe while waiting for the long line be “digested”

a small, nice one with open window. sun peeping through. had some good quality foods.

a tram just arrived at station when we finished. in 5 mins. we were uphill.

many people.

as with by magic, a taxi appeared after we walked someway up to the small park. it took us directly to the very top, saving us at least 30 mins. walk, just in time to see the amazing setting sun!

people all looking at same direction / taking photos. mostly quiet.

3 couples set in front of us . watching quietly.

some even brought wine.

we enjoyed hot drink and sandwich from the nearby tuck shop, while appreciating such great blessings to have witnessed the wonderful moments … priceless.

when we got down back to the mall, stars filled the sky. jupiter, satern, mars….

we enjoyed some hot soup on the observation deck, quietly, under the stary stary sky.

when we walked to the other side, the rising moon awaits. bright, round…

such a memorable day from dawn to dusk, setting moon, rising sun, to setting sun, rising moon! + many stars!

how blessed and unbelievable!

tremendous joy, peace, love… free. available to all who open their hearts to co-create / be in communion..

may we all be always dwell in such wordless beauty, silence, presence…. to face all challenges that might come along.

Blessings be to all
