Everyday Stories, Lived

  • When a moment passes by

    When a moment passes, it passes quickly. But it could feel as if the time is at a pause, and all you think of is the serenity of the moment you’re in. The noise and motion of the whirling movements around you are like a blur at your periphery. It feels peaceful and quiet. Your… Read more

  • The woman who fed the cats

    Five years ago, I used to live in a university dorm.

  • Walk with wonder

    How often do you walk around your neighborhood and look at the skies and the people you pass by? How often do you stir yourself up to become curious about things you think you are already familiar with, such as how your neighbor’s outdoors looks or how the pavements are crooked at the end of… Read more
