Watch the people, they are all sitting at McDonald.
Watch the sky: it is watching the people underneath.
We are all floating like bubbles
Lost in
originality and spirituality
Yes or not, yes and not
Engulfed in that joy
Without nightmares without dreams.

> Hope your spirits are high and shining for the new year, the Lunar Year of the dragon. I grew up with a dragon daddy and I know how tough they can be at times these personalities but the core of their heart is extremely soft and sensitive, hope you will have good luck with all the dragons on your way.
> Now we get ready for welcoming the new year, I m really excited for all the wonders on the new path. Between December and January I didn’t expect to receive such amazing kitchen aids like a true centrifugal juicer (the old one has gone already after about 3 years only ) , a fantastic rice cooker and a Chinese dessert maker… only to name three of them. >
> Did you ever had a bean dessert? In Asia they are super popular. The creamy ones only require water & beans: soya milk, rice milk, chacha, sesame, walnut and almonds desserts, all fibers boosters. Fibers support the face radiance. I m sure wherever you are you would love to try these flavorful and comfortable delicacies! >

It’s a lovely warm day today, one of those Saturday that you can leave home with sandals under a raincoat (obviously I m wearing more than enough wools instead). The train is running fast into the city and into the joy of the weekend. I m one out of thousands on the same train and happy to be able to post a couple of morning shots for you. Happy for a new beginning in a new day.
The enlightened possess understanding
So profound they can not be understood.
Because they cannot be understood
I can only describe their appearance:
Cautious as one crossing thin ice,
Undecided as one surrounded by danger,
Modest as one who is a guest,
Unbounded as melting ice,
Genuine as unshaped wood,
Broad as a valley,
Seamless as muddy water.
Who stills the water that the mud may settle,
Who seeks to stop that he may travel on,
Who desires less than may transpire,
Decays, but will not renew. [Lao Tzu]
This book is born out of the feelings of affection that the author was nurturing during her childhood towards her African American nanny. More African and stranger than American lets say.
“My siblings deny it, but I was closer to Demetrie than the other kids were. Nobody got cross with me if Demetrie was nearby. She would stand me in front of the mirror and say ‘you are beautiful, you are a beautiful girl’ when clearly I was not. …. My mother was out of town a lot. Susan and Rob were tired of me hanging around, and I felt left over. Demetrie knew it and took my hand and told me I was fine.”
It s 1962, Mississippi, when the story of The Help begins. It’s a fiction at large.
The robust maids are great love givers. They perfectly supply the need of care for the American kids of that time. Skeeter is one little girl growing up with a different courage inside. The courage to become a true friend to two maids and help them to tell their stories to the whole community. Funny, brave, feminine, emphatic. Flowing read.
Maltose candies. Coconut powder dust. This is my start for the lunar new year time. Roasted walnuts and peanuts, delicious combo for this cold winter day. Do you want to have a try!
The result will be chewy and fun. These candies are really traditional in China, infact with very simple ingredients on hand they are practically ready. You need: Maltose 1 Cup
Oil 1 Tsp
Cinnamon powder
Pinch of salt
Roasted walnut
Melt together all these ings on low fire. When it all look nicely melted and goldened, when the blend begins to pop, turn off the fire. Transfer the whole into a greasy dish, wait until it solidify. Cut and roll the candies in dry coconut powder.
1 Glory lies in the attempt to reach one’s goal and not in reaching it.
2 Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.
3 As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.
Last evening while window strolling one of the chicest mall in Hong Kong we were surprisingly watching that a huge part of the shops where naked and empty . All was quite and not many people shopping. Too expensive or what else ? Today morning my quest for a super deep spiritual life is mix matching with the meaning of giving gifts for Xmas. Which is the most splendid gift that you want to receive? I think the most beautiful gift is the spiritual nourishment we can offer for free to others, or we can receive. This is the most useful gift, the most important simply because it totally KEEPS US ALIVE in the real sense. It makes each and every part of our body and cells happy. Without any need for mediators or tools. It is already inside this gift.
There is something deeply vintage in the soul of the city. It may be the contrast of colors. The feeling of maturity and old character. The strive for excellence in certain areas. I always felt vintage here: the atmosphere, the relations, the outlook. Even in the most super modern neighbor. Because the atmosphere, the breeze in the air is the same everywhere you go; what you see is not as important.
Vintage is the word, old is its fascinating personality. This is it! HK! Hong Kong!
They look so outdated these shots but no, they are from few weeks ago. It s downtown of the upstate area: a place with great affluence of people from China, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand mostly. Now what s next?…
A conjunction bridge between upstate and middle west side. Awsome scenario from the bus.
It s so magical. The light say it all, people live under the glow of ads and multiple rows of old fashioned white bulbs. I m one of them too ^_^
It s now time for a friendly hot-pot or a homey sushi, it s now time to say Welcome to vintage feel of a city!
This year a great kitchen aid gift is delivered before time. A white shining new centrifugal juicer for tasty and fresh fruity drinks 2012. How fantastic, now the only thing to do is to find some place where to fix it. Then i will be ready to make juice for anybodyelse too. The flat living room is now simply dressed with a multicolor light thread from one side to the opposite, with a sheet of golden leather shapes flat stars and balls glued on the wall and the balcony glass window. Really easy and really Christmasey too. No tree this year. An Indian rug with dozens of round mirrors is camping in the middle floor glittering with its golden decorations. It s funny to step on all those tiny mirrors, we ll keep it for a week or so.
Next Sunday is celebration time with the sahajis, it s time for a cake at least what do u think? Steamed and cream filled, with coconut shreds and tangerine taste: main idea going on in the recipe file of my mind at the moment:D Yesterday i was downtown for the tuesday mandarin class and i noticed that the atmosphere is very quite, the decore look quite sober; here where i live there is already a couple of golden dragons hanging on the center stone bridge: Lunar New Year is also at the door, dont forget it.
As i dont want to forget u dear blog subscribers. You are really kind for wanting to receive updates here. Im not that constant in blogging, it all depends in which direction the boundless inspiration is heading. But yes inspiration means a lot to me and i always hope that YOUR inspirations will somehow cross mines. So to produce something truly boundless.

but there is only one search: wandering
This world is wandering that, both inside one
transparent sky. In here
there is no dogma and no heresy.
The miracle of Jesus is himself, not what he said or did
about the future, Forget the future.
I’d worship someone who could do that.
On the way you may want to look back, or not,
but if you can say There’s nothing ahead,
there will be nothing there.
Stretch your arms and take hold the cloth of your clothes
with both hands. The cure for pain is in the pain.
Good and bad are mixed. If you don’t have both,
you don’t belong with us.
When one of us gets lost, is not here, he must be inside us.
There’s no place like that anywhere in the world.
I heard that facing the truth is hard and makes u suffering. Or even disgusting like Mr. Jung wrote in his psycho-books. That it s painful but worthy because it s going to help the blossomin of a new personality, and stuff like that.
But facing ourself can also be easier than we think and more comfortable than reading a psycho-book about it. It just happens, just because you want. If you want to play you will get the ball and play. Without any need to feeling hurt nor misunderstood nor even crashed inside. There is no confusion about it. It is already happening this kind of enjoyement.
Diving is like a meditation. Getting to become one with aquatic nature and watching the colors and the wonders of a deep sea abyssin landscape. Total silence surrounding the human nature. Becoming one with this present silence.
Painting is also like a meditation. Expressing the beauty thru movements of the hand, putting it into colors, lines, shapes. Without thinking, drawing into the silence.
Tai-chi is like a meditation. Feeling the energy rising up and refreshing the senses and everything else into the being. Each movement is in harmony with inner breathing and spirituality of self.
Photoshooting is just like meditation too. The focus of the nerves, the observation of the present moment. In relax, in dynamism, in fun.
Surfing the net is perfect meditation. Like surfing the waves of something bigger and empty. The vibrations of the entire universe surrounding the digital personal experience.
Whole life IS meditation. Or at least the starting point of… it. It…?!
