I dream quite often when I sleep, and I have all sorts of dreams. Most of the time, my dreams are just episodes which do not make sense. Rarely do I have a dream that makes perfect sense, or which I wish would actually come true. But I had just such a dream this morning…and […]

The Waking Moment
Have you ever noticed what your first waking thought is? Your first lucid thought? When consciousness dawns, but while you’re still a little too groggy to react to anything… I used to think that one split second, that first waking thought, was a special moment of truth. Whatever that first thought or emotion is, I […]
Let's find that field…
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other” doesn’t make any sense. mevlana jelaluddin rumi – 13th century
Bon Voyage, Mom!
My mom’s going to China with her extended family for the next 11 days…it’s the second such trip for her and the Halim family in a year, I think. I spoke with her on the phone while she was on the way to the airport yesterday, and…*sigh* I will miss her. I know it seems […]

Tonight, thankfully, You took things out of my hands. […]

Can’t help staring at that pic on my blog. Even when I was browsing for different blog themes yesterday, this one caught my attention in a way the others didn’t. It wasn’t because it was the most aesthetically pleasing per se…but something about the photo spoke to me. And now, after having made it my […]
