While comparing notes on our practice the other day, a friend asked, “How long have you been with WISE?”

The song keeps churning in my mind, again and again, long after I sang the lullaby to my little one an hour ago.

This is the best year of my life if there is such a thing as year or life.

I remember at a retreat years ago, having just undergone a process of mind-healing, I remarked: “Last night I slept soundly after all that crying.”

That which belongs to me. Forms my life story. I live an ordinary life or so I thought.

A clear blue sky above, chirping of a sparrow nearby and soft lush grass below your feet. Beams of glorious sunlight warm on your face.

Have you ever experienced catching a mouse that has come visiting your home?

I remember a game I once was fairly addicted to, a candy crush game.

One of my biggest fear is to make mistakes. I used to want perfection.

It hits me recently that we deal with life, not living life.

It has been a long week. No. Weeks, months, or even a year. You vaguely recall happier times when life was good and everything was going well.

Fight or flight?

Everyone experiences fear, yet we don't realise how it occurs.

Isn’t it strange that in improving relationships, we focus to learn more about others rather than ourselves?

As I sit facing my laptop, fingers on the keyboard, I let out a long audible SIGH….. Can you hear it? And why the sigh?

Again, this morning’s walk was beautiful because the mind was wholesome. It still remembered the sharings by Teacher Tuck Loon, moving the mind from dark to bright.

Please allow me to share something I learned at school and how it builds upon my learning here. When I was at school, I learned "一分耕耘，一分收获yī fēn gēngyún, yī fēn shōuhuò".

Mind or consciousness is a stream of mental processes that involves every moment of our lives, and our ability to experience everything around us is because of this process.

This came to my mind as I was taking my morning walk. Strange, many a time, the words pop out when I am doing my exercise. Upon googling, I came across this song by Elvis Presley.

I can still remember clearly the pain of losing dear ones to death. And then, there were other crisis – close friends and relatives threatened with terminal illness.
