Each morning

-

[verse 1]

When the sun tickles my eyes
I turn my head to see
gold necklace lays quietly
shimmering in the morning light
when the sun tickles your cheek
the blanket pushes back the light
 
[verse 2] 
you wish each morning was cloudy
the minute hand slow and lazy
rain singing on the roof
wash away the scars of work
a few more minutes
a few more minutes
 
[chorus 1] 
each morning I count your lashes
trace the road that led to this place
listen to each breath you take
listen to the dreams that may
listen to each breath you take
listen to the dreams that may


[verse 3]
When the sun tickles my eyes
I turn my head to seegold necklace lays quietly
shimmering in the morning light
when the sun tickles your cheek
the blanket pushes back the light
 
[verse 4] 
you wish each morning was cloudy
the minute hand slow and lazy
rain singing on the roof
wash away the scars of work
a few more minutes
a few more minutes 
[chorus 2] 
each morning I count your lashes
trace the road that led to this place
listen to each breath you take
listen to the dreams that may
listen to each breath you take
listen to the dreams that may

Spring

This week was Chinese spring festival. Growing up my family didn't really celebrate it and my parents didn't take time off. Immigrant parents make countless sacrifices to provide a better future for their children. Now that my kids are grown and independent, I reflect on the journey of parenthood. I wouldn't be who I am today without that experience. This morning there was snow in the back yard. It paints a pretty picture. Soon flowers and plants will sprout. 抱抱 地收天情 璇光化雪 水流轻轻 彤玫瑰开

無為

Recently, the Dao delivered a gift when I least expected it. There is a line from Dao De Jing verse 37 The path of the dao is non-action and yet not no-action  道常無為而無不為 For me, it's a reminder to clear our minds of noise and ego. When your soul is a blank canvas, the Dao will provide what nature intends and you can follow nature. 瓷 云哭洗山, 凤凰开眼, 花送天王, 堂开千璇 I asked chatGPT to translate the poem. This is one possible translation Porcelain The clouds weep, cleansing the mountains, the pheonix opens its eyes flowers are sent to the heavenly king the hall opens to a thousand radiances.
