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 :)

Open Your Heart to the Sun | Gabrielle Lagman

Today the angels paid my soul. I photographed my friend Gabrielle teaching yoga to kids in the first grade. Wow! We started at 8am until about 11am. About 4 classes of kids came by and they were all very unique, sweet, innocent, adorable, peaceful, … Yoga mats were donated by Manduka (it means frog) and they are going to feature Gabrielle in their newsletter, so she asked me to take the photos :) Gabrielle is very wonderful with the kids. It’s inspiring to see her influence the lives of these children.

Mighty horse…
Power to run
Across the open plains.

Or to bring the vision,
Of the shields
Dancing in purple dream rain

View from Chinatown

These city lights trigger memories inside me since I was about 10 years old…
vintage film plays in my head, the clack clack clack of a movie projector showing the story of my life….
