A walk to remember

Marveling at the handsome blue sky through the window of my host’s home, I can again take a pause to taste what transpired this past week.  Believe it or not, this is the first time in my life that I’m entirely putting my faith in the flow of universe.  What makes me decide to undergo the journey this way?  I can only give credits to the astonishing adventure of developing W Studio and becoming a freelance artist in Hong Kong.  Running an art studio on my own is already dream come true; yet creating and sharing art for a living has far exceeded my comprehension as if having a sip of nirvana.  I am forever grateful for how I am shown the possibility of life.

Now this expedition carries on to astound me with genuinely hearty people, captivating exchanges, and spontaneous encounters.  My spirit has never felt this receptive to what the cosmos is illustrating.  Though the painting is not finished, all I have to do is exactly what I’m used to do with my own artworks – tango with each other till we are perfectly attuned.  This is a once-in-lifetime opportunity.  “Seek, and ye shall find.” 

Yes, I’m ready to listen.

能夠在藍天白雲下靜靜回味過去一星期所發生的事實在是一種福氣，或者你未必會信，但其實這是我人生第一次將自己完全交托給天地萬物，是徹徹底底毫無保留地相信，哪為何我要選擇放手去經歷這個旅程呢？歸根究底都是成為全職藝術工作者及發展W Studio的奇妙歷險記所致，可以擁有自己的藝術工作室已經是夢想成真，更莫論能夠以分享及創造藝術為生，簡直有如上太空旅行 ﹣一種不能參透的體驗。


這趟遠征繼續用真誠有心的人、令人讚嘆的交流及即興的相遇來打開我的心窗，自問心靈從未試過如此開放去接收宇宙的信息，雖然整幅生命巨著仍未完成，但我唯一需要做的就是一如以往地與作品共舞直至雙方能和平共處。現在眼前的機會可能一生只有一次，而我已準備好，隨時候聽。

Thrilled to see Ricky Martin's courage in publicly sharing his identity through music. (though the MV looks like CK ad) 

May his action inspire others to face their true self.

Reading "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbet & resting on the train as I travel from host to host.

My hospitable host from Canada.  Admire his commitment and life mission on finding sustainable ways to deal with poverty and our urban society. 

Went for a couch surfing event & met people from all over the world.  It's so intriguing that during those hours, the whole world assembled in this pub.

My laid-back host from Greece.  He took me to a Greek gathering & invited me to a house music.  We also have plans to check out some meditation class together.

Spending a night at SoHo with my host was definitely remarkable.  Waking up & walking right into the heart of the city reminded me of Hong Kong & Chicago.

My first ever British host (white shirt) is so generous & well-traveled!  His roommate (left) and another surfer from Italy (right) joined us for a happy together photo~

Didn't expect I would participate in a life-drawing section so soon!  This is actually the organizer because the model didn't show up.

Discussing the screenplay in a film animation class for mental well-being.  Excited to see how this piece will turn out.

Largactyle Shuffle Walk by CoolTan Arts.  We stopped by this gate which used to be a graveyard for the outcast dead, but is now an abandoned field.

Diverse people joined us for the walk - a lady in medieval dress & two sisters proclaiming against all kinds of discrimination and giving us blessing on embracing one another as May 17th was the international day against homophobia.

We did a maple dance at the end.  Supposedly, there would be a pole in the middle, but this time we used a tree instead.  Everyone would basically go under every other person until it completely wrapped around the tree, and then do the whole thing backward to untie.  (don't tell anyone, we sort of just left it on the tree...)

It's Ultimate Frisbee!!!  After 7 years of separation, we are united at last.  Photo hunt: please locate the frisbee in this picture.  (Hint: light blue in the green)

A lovely diverse team from couch surfing.
