Missing the sound of water, the heat of the sun, and the peaceful surroundings.

As Clear as Water

Water is fluid, soft, and yielding.

But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield.

As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding

will overcome whatever is rigid and hard.

This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.

-- Lao-Tzu (600 B.C.)

Spread Your Wings

The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine,

  Spread your wings and let the fairy in you fly!

Yellow Broken Heart

Natural Spring Water @ Tian Lai Resort

When love is lost, do not bow your head in sadness;

instead keep your head up high and gaze into heaven

for that is where your broken heart has been sent to heal.

My Favorite Place to Relax

Japanese Style Building

Since 2005, Tian Lai Hot Spring Resort is my favorite hide-away from the city.

The place has only 2 building, my favorite Japanese Building (new)

and the European Building (old) in the opposite.

Light on Dark Clouds

What do you see? Clouds or Light...

Sometimes, I also asked why?

All my prayers for others, the answers are all "Yes".
All my prayers for myself, the answers are all "No" or "Not Yet"...

“...we also rejoice in our sufferings,

because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

perseverance, character; and character, hope.”

- Romans 5:3-4

"And now men see not the sun which is in the clouds;

but the wind passes and clears them."

Job 37:21.

A Dry Leaf

(photo taken @ Tian Lai Resort - September 2010)

 A Dry Leaf

Leaves are like ideas in the mind

They come when needed
They flourish and give life

Light and great wisdom

When ideas have served their purpose

They need to be swept away

We must constantly sweep out the old

And give way for the new one

Man breathes for life

As he reaches

His old age

It will cease

And will fall apart

Like a dry leaf…

Whte Bridge Along YamgMingShan

When we were in YangMingShan, I took shot of these mountains right from the balcony of our hotel room. Actually, we passed through those mountains from Taipei City to Tian Lai Hot Spring  Resort for about an hour. I was bit dizzy :)

Along the way, we also passed the long white bridge above, connecting YangmingShan and Ji Shan (Yangming Mountain and Ji Mountain)

Look Up and You Will See

What do you see?

Last weekend, we stayed in one of the resort here in Taipei County called Tian Lai. The place is in the middle of Yang Ming Mountain and Jin Shan Mountain, 45 minutes away by bus from Taipei Main Station. As we look from our balcony I saw shapes...
