I am tardy in writing about living this good life on earth. I have so many ideas, but not enough perseverance to put them down in words. My family and I had returned from Japan during the June school holidays, and I am using the Picasa web albums to narrate the experience. A picture speaks a thousand words, and that's the reason why I have invested into a better camera to bring out the lesson behind the image.
In the pictures, I want to bring out the many free and enjoyable things we can do, while avoiding consuming more of the earth's natural resources. In my mind, these activities calm the mind and strengthen our spiritual relationship with nature.
Take a walk with friends or family. It is a great way of bonding.
How about a group exercise in qigong? The Chinese believes that if the qi flow efficiently through the body, it improves our health.
How about meditating? Studies have shown that meditation does help to manage our stress, but calming the mind. Meditation is practised as part of the buddhist way of life. There are many good books written on this topic, which you could find in bookstores or articles from the internet.
Reading the Sunday Times overlooking the reservoir is one great way of lazing around yet filling our mind with questions about what is happening around us. Better still is to have your loved one around you for good bonding.
I am not sure about this game, but I noted that the Housing Board has build such facility as yet another form of exercise and community bonding. In this photograph, is a couple enjoying it just next to the Lower Pierce Reservoir.
Living a good life is about feeling the good earth beneath my feet, and breathing in the fresh air around me, and praying to the benevolent force of the universe above me. Ah, such is beauty of life. It is hardly about wasteful consumption that destroys the earth; pollutes the air and makes a mockery of the spiritual world. We have the choice. Choose wisely.
Today is Sunday, and my wife and I had our usual qigong at Lower Pierce Reservoir. It drizzled, and the master had to stop the exercise midway. We then went to Upper Pierce Reservoir after breakfast to enjoy the fresh air and calm atmosphere of this watery venue.
