Sun Flares
Honed, forged, rising from fire,
kicked by the heel of the moon,
the sun bows on mountains, it’s stage.
With flare she dances,
enraptures, romances,
pirouettes, prances,
with brilliance that never will age.
Sun Flares, Sandra S Corona

Bamboo
Today during my morning meditations I was reading a passage out of my 365 Tao book by Deng Ming-Dao
Chopsticks made from bamboo-
Too poor to afford silverware.
Tender bamboo shoots for food-
Too poor to afford meat.Why were people of old so integrated with their surroundings?
Because the objects that they used, the food that they ate, and
the activities that they engaged in were straight from their surroundings.
They used sticks made from bamboo as eating implements.
They used vines to make baskets. They used gourds as vessels.
For food, they grew plants, domesticated animals, and caught fish and game.
Their social structure was was built around the cycles of the sun, moon, and stars…
The closer we can be to the earth and to nature, the more integrated with life we shall be.
A few hours later I receive an email from Flickr notifying me that my Bamboo photo was chosen for the Huntington Library’s Photo of the Day.
I love my life :)

Hummingbirds
I’m back! And so are the hummingbirds.
But what does it mean when you catch a hummingbird making water?! (see last photo)
Springtime in the Gardens
I visited the Huntington Gardens with my mom yesterday. I showed her the Herb, Rose, Japanese, and Chinese Gardens.
