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
