I love exploring nature,
and mindfulness is key
to savor the spectacles.
When you pay attention,
you are blessed with serendipity—
those accidental happy surprises.
Let me share two examples:
Once, I was riding my bicycle
down a dirt road
between two lakes
on a rainy evening.
Something jumped in front of me—
it was a mudfish.
Another time,
we were out exploring
our leafy neighborhood
on a summer day,
and a monarch butterfly
fluttered right by us.
I have plethora of
exciting experiences—
for I was mindful.
Serendipity has truly
enriched my life.

Veil of Subconscious Awakening
Images slide behind my eyelids like film cadres, bursting with meanings. In one moment, I’m speeding down the highway, making the speedometer swing wildly like a frantic pendulum. The next moment, I’m plunging from a falling plane, slowly crashing earthward. At home, I meet black cat’s green, googly eyes staring at me from the cavernous hollowness of the kitchen. When I turn for a moment, it disappears, and all I can see is a pair of blue suede shoes set up against the wall. I pick them up and put them on. When I glimpse at them again, they’ve become black as night, making me blink and flinch.
