Honestly, the last few months have been a complete whirlwind. So many things, good and bad, have happened; I don’t really know where to begin.

You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

I was trying to get to sleep on a Tuesday night and she was talking on the phone – with the phone on speaker – so I knocked on her door. When she didn’t answer, I knocked on the floor. She finally yelled up [...]

For starters, Derek is down in Los Angeles visiting his friends and his parents, so since about mid-day Saturday I’ve had to entertain myself. This is exceptionally hard to do when it’s rainy and grey and cold outside. I want to out and take photos, but [...]

]]> http://lianhua.nu/2011/01/exhausted/ Bring it on, 2011 I think I’m ready to take this year on.

I’m ready to take bits and pieces, minute parts of reality (see quote, above), and turn them into digital (and sometimes printed) records that I can share with the world.

As part of my resolution to take more photos in 2011, I decided to join

Goals:

Be a better blogger. Start doing yoga (first class 1/5/2011). Cut out the negativity in life – people, actions, habits, thoughts, [...]

]]> http://lianhua.nu/2010/09/intermission/ My Three Principles: Do Not Harm the World (1) When I first began learning about Buddhism, I remember being overwhelmed with all of the “rules” – Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, the Five (or Eight or Ten) Precepts, Three Marks of Existence, the Six Realms of Samsara (reincarnation)… It made my head spin. I knew it was going to [...]
