The Other Side

I am surprised how many people ask me what bridge this is. I thought it is obvious, it is the Golden Gate. Maybe we should in our daily life, look at an issue from the other side. Same issue, different perspective.

Culture

It is part of me, whether I want it or not. Sometimes I felt that it will be much easier if I were brought up in a single culture. But in these days, that will be somewhere in a jungle!

Temptation

There are many temptations in life, some are obvious, some are not. In our daily struggle with these temptations, what can we do?

Answer: avoid Vegas at all cost!

Clowning

I should remind myself that this is a better way to deal with stress! MAKE FACES!

The Rock

I always wonder how nature does it work with wind and water. Great things can be created over time.

Gone with the Wind

If the tree has a voice, what will he tell us?

Standing by the rim of Grand Canyon, there are many stories. The wind, the snow, the sun, the birds, the people...

There is always something burning in our heart. Something that we have been wanting to do. Wait and the day may not come.

I wish I was 7 years old again, sometimes. An age when events do not have attached memories. An age when one can really be FEARLESS!

# 5: Chops and sticks

It was an attempt to put things in perspective. A collection of thrown away convenience. Are we responsible for the convenience of the next generation?

It is their day in the paradise, a man made safe harbor. I am sure they do not mind the clicks of the camera, they make a louder noise!

This is a place to visit and rest. There is food and water for all. If you come, bring your body, your mind and your soul.
