Reflecting on the Week

??⛰

There is always a point in the day where the Hudson River is calm and still. And in those moments, a reflection of the sky is painted in the water. This body of water is constantly moving, flowing, going, yet takes a pause every now and then.

Taking the time to witness this put things into perspective. Out of all the busy days in this busy life of mine, I deserve a moment to just…be. That way, whenever the tide begins to turn, I will be ready to ride the wave.

Loving my plant babies and watching them thrive!

??? 
 

Taking care of plants is incredibly wholesome and rewarding. I discovered my green thumb a few years ago when I began growing this [plant name in picture]. Three apartments later, it is still thriving!

I currently have nine other plants throughout my home. Nothing is more beautiful than looking around a space and seeing signs of life everywhere. Each one of my plant babies gets an equal amount of love and care. Maybe I can find room for a few more…

Sleepy Saturday Baby – this bed is my bed

???  

Another ongoing photo series of mine—taking pictures of Dyson—is also an ongoing ode to him. Anything he does is worthy of commemoration. He’s just that cute! Look at that sleepy Saturday baby, all curled up and comfortable.   Here’s Dyson snoozing on our pillows and Parachute comforter. Like many dogs, he thinks our bed is his bed and prefers to take his naps there.

This is his typical “baby face” when he wakes up in the morning—sort of sleepy, sort of “hey, how’re you doing?” Sometimes he’s just too cute. He looks like he’s posing and showing his good side, but I can assure you, as his owner, every side is his good side!

Boats on the Philosophers walk

The water along the Philosopher’s Walk doesn’t hurry. It slides between stone walls and green edges as if it has all day to remember where it’s been.

In the photo, two small leaf boats rest on the rough bridge ledge—simple folds of green carrying bright flowers, a quiet offering set down like a thought you don’t say out loud. Below them, the canal holds a soft reflection of sky and branches, the surface broken only by small ripples and the slow drift of light.

Kyoto has a way of making ordinary things feel lived-in. Stone, water, moss—materials that don’t try to impress, they just keep showing up, season after season. Walking here feels less like sightseeing and more like listening. The path invites you to notice what’s usually background: the texture of a wall, the hush under a bridge, the way a single petal can change the mood of a whole scene.

Maybe that’s the point of this place. Not to arrive anywhere in particular, but to let your thoughts move at the same pace as the canal—steady, clear, and unforced.

If you ever find yourself on the Philosopher’s Walk, pause on a bridge and look down. You might see something small and handmade, briefly afloat in the world, doing its quiet work of remembrance.

Wang Yue – Meitu

Wang Yue – Meitu

iu2:

Wang Yue, a senior at Dalian Industry University, uses her paintbrush to turn ugly tree holes into lovely views in Shijiazhuang, capital city of Hebei Province.

Wang Yue calls the tree-hole paintings “meitu” which means “beautiful journey.” The paintings on the trees have brightened the city during the dull, grey winter.
