....for it contributed powerfully to widen further the licence of highway robbery, pillage and arson, the ruin of homes, the driving off of settlers, marauding expeditions, attacks on towns, outrages in short of every kind, that made the following months a welter of lawlessness and crime, until Governor Geary - by putting himself above all partisanship, repudiating Missouri, and using Federal troops put an end to them late in 1856.

3. Noisome : adj. malodorous,  unpleasant,
I wiped away the weeds and foam,I fetched my sea-born treasures home;But the poor, unsightly, noisome thingsHad left their beauty on the shore,With the sun and the sand and the wild uproar.
Ralph Waldo Emerson



4. Flag : to become tired , fade, weaken
He becomes flagging after running for 3 hours of marathon !

Ang Lee's newest film made me Cry ....

李安的新作品:比利林恩的中場戰事.
❤️AAngel Rating 4 and 1/2 of 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
影評人都期待高科技音效的戰爭場面,甚至是浪漫的唯美鏡頭,所以他們給予此片評價不高。但是,我個人很喜歡。Angel 認為,李安運用高速攝影技術,誏我們回到真實的現場,沒有美化,只有用慈悲的心觀看著英雄背後的心酸,矛盾,與衝擊。

現實社會是如此殘酷,對於生命,死亡及戰爭,只是像看電影似的無關於己。戰場上的軍人,回到現實生活中,其實才是另一場複雜的戰事。
美國為了什麼打仗?保衞人民?推動民主?還是強大自我權勢?人民不清楚,軍人更不須要了解,愛國,不是選擇,這只是職責,對某些人而言,只是為了生存!在軍中,兄弟間的愛,手足間的愛,才是生活的支柱。
李安的新作,太真實,令人嘆息!太殘酷,令人深思戰爭此議題。

Ang Lee's Newest Film " Billy Lynn's Long Half Time Walk " did not receive good reviews , because the critics were expecting a highly flashy war film and romantic illusion ! However , I like this film very much , which has a deep compassion toward life manifesting in a lyrical way with the Newest technology given a true sense of reality .
It became so Lyrical when tears flowed down on his cheek , yet so vivid and real but dream like ....
Life is like a dream when you are facing your enemy , like a movie when others show absolute careless and negligent about you !
This film reminds you not to be patriotic or scoundrel , because sometimes it is not a matter of choice or honor , it is all because of reality we are confronting with . Like it or not ?! People around do not hold such high moral to war heros , as nobody really know what those soldiers are fighting for ! And soldiers do not need to know ! Cruel as it is , the brotherly love prevailed in the film , as we outsiders usually do not respect the real life and death .
以下最好的影評~

What is Love and Fire ?

Fire Puja at the US Retreat Center 

Let the Fire Burn away all the afflicted emotions  !!

I offer my trust to you ~~~ , until there is no words to describe .....

You asked me, can I trust you , believe you no matter what ...

I burst into tears....

How non human I have to become in order to achieve this ....

I offer my body, my speech, my heart to you....

Let them melt away in the space ....

You said I will find the true nature, the true love ,

If have total faith and belief ....

What is Love? What is Friendship? What is faith?

Humans.... in the six realms, would always disappoint me you said...

Let it burn, Let the fire ignite my Bindu , my Prana and my Nadi....

I am all transparent, I have no substance, I am light ...

Only light .... There is only one thing exists, Consciousness and Love ...

Can you feel it? Calling you from within....

We are all awaken....

Let the fire burn

Let the fire Sing...

I am traveling up to the tip of the tongue ...

Love me as I trust you so ....

Castle Hotel and Spa ~~~~


終于明白,有些路,只能一個人走。那些邀約好同行的人,一起相伴雨季,走過年華,但有一天終究會在某個渡口離散。紅塵陌上,獨自行走,綠蘿拂過衣襟,青雲打濕諾言。山和水可以兩兩相忘,日與月可以毫無瓜葛。那時候,只一個人的浮世清歡,一個人的細水長流。
❤
我们一直是在離别中,比如和愛的人,和傷害,甚至和時光⋯⋯

after  林徽因

Castle in New York State ~~~



Castle and Spa ~~~

I did fancy myself living in this historical landmark as a princess ~~~ :):):)

The most amusing part was promenading in the rose garden before the dawn , staring at  the rising

sun inhaling the breeze, like a true meditator ….!


Life as a Game ~~~

人生像棋盤,不斷的在抉擇中盤旋,
相遇的人,
也許是軽吻,是嘶殺,
也許迎你入堂,捧你至山頂,
也許牽著你的手,擁你入懷,也許推你入山涯。
但是他們終將一一的走向另一個棋盤人生⋯⋯

Yosemite Meditation ~~




As I can breath through the golden clouds into heaven,
I bow to the profoundness and awe,
I pray for the bliss that
arises in  each array of the light !

I surrender to the you…
I am you;
I am the nature,
I am the emptiness,
I am the light !

After Lion King ~~~~

This is my patio in my room at Manhattan , after watching musical ,  Le Miserable ~~and the Lion King ~~~

Friends said that I should live in the ferry tale dreaming like life style , by standing in front of this glass door ....
In fact, life is like a dream, a morning due, an illusion that would dissolve in every second without you would notice it. 

Enjoy and open up our senses and awareness !!



 Oh~~~ This shopping success  is a joyful habit that I inherited from my past karmas....!!
One Day, those material things should be given away , although I am so fond of their beauty, delicacy, and craftsmanship!! By owning them, it shows a moment of joy, and grasping within my mind of course ! I hope the attachment will not last for too long ...:):):)
