8:00-8:30a.m. Lessons from the Ocean I started my day at the beach, just as the western sky was being tinged with pink by the rising sun. Standing a distance away from the water, I watched and listened silently as the waves rolled into shore again and again. As I stood silently soaking in the presence […]

Toronto – Puerto Vallarta Day 1
6:00 – 6:35a.m. – Gan Limo Service After getting ready in a rush, I came out of my bedroom to check if Yuandong was up. To my surprise, both he and Wanting are up and dressed already. I hadn’t known that Wanting was going to send me to the airport as well…so sweet! What a […]
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
That’s where I’m heading off to bright and early tomorrow for the annual PES conference till next Monday (24/4). They have a jam-packed program so I’m not too hopeful about spending much time in the sun…but I definitely will play as much as I can afford to, time & cost-wise. Thanks to all of you […]

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 […]
Nessun Dorma
It’s been a long and beautiful night. I had thought it would have been more difficult, but once again, I surprised myself.

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

Anything Can Happen (II)
*sigh* I’ve got Mary Poppins fever. I don’t seem to get tired of listening to the songs. And now that I’ve gotten the CD, I can finally get all the lyrics! Before I had decided to make the purchase, I was seriously considering making a project of typing out all the lyrics from hearing. That’s […]
