ON THE KEEPER OF THE GARDEN

I envy the "Keeper of the Garden"...

they are able to grow 

beautiful plants and flowers

 from the littlest seeds.

I don't have that talent 

but I may be a keeper in other areas...

Let us find our niche in this world...

and be a Keeper in our own way!

ON SNOW-CAPPED SUMMITS AND GOALS

I could only see the snow-capped summits from the plane... or from afar... 
I don't think I would even consider climbing any one of these...
Especially, as our age in years increase, we get less aggressive and less adventurous.


BUT, I still have dreams of reaching summits in other forms...
such as, trying to do better in our present field of work.


Each of us have to find our own summits which we want to reach!

ON THE MIRACLE OF A SINGLE FLOWER...

If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.

ON TREES AND REFLECTIONS

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

- Confucius

When I brought my son to school, I saw this "pond" on the way and I was attracted by the reflection of the trees on the water, especially with the floating pink waterlilies on the side. Usually, this place isn't noticed and may be a breeding area of dengue mosquitoes, but the beauty of that moment caught me and so I just had to capture it in this photo.

ON DOORS OF HAPPINESS

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
