Do you need me? I am there
You cannot see me, yet I am the light you see by
You cannot hear me, yet I speak through your voice
You cannot feel me, yet I am the power at work in your hands.
I am at work, though you do not understand my ways
I am at work, though you do not understand my works
I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries.
Only in absolute stillness, beyoung self, can you know Me as I am, and then but as a feeling and a faith.
Yet I am here. Yet I am hear. Yet I answer.
When you need me, I am there
Even if you deny me, I am there
Even when you feel most alone, I am there
Even in your fears, I am there
Even in your pain, I am there
I am there when you pray and when you do not pray
I am in you and you are in me
Only in your mind can you feel separate from me, for only on your mind are the mists of "yours" and "mine"
Yet only with yur mind can you know me and experience me.
Empty your heart of empty fears.
When you get yourself out of the way, I am there.
You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all
And I am in all
Though you may not see the good, good is there, for I am there.
I am there because I have to be, because I am
Only in me does the world have meaning, only out of me does the world take from, only because of me does the world go forward.
I am the law on which the movement of the stars and the growth of living cells are founded.
I am the love is the law's fulfilling. I am assurance. I am peace. I am oneness. I am the law that you can live by.
I am the love that you can cling to. I am your assurance. I am your peace. I am ONE with you. I am.
Though you fail to find me, I do not fail you.
Though you fail in me is unsure, my fail in you neer wavers because I know you, because I love you.

Beloved, I am there.

my home village

By one life, live it
Image
That was Long Ho village, an old village on the bank of Huong river - just a few miles from Hue, a lovely village with a peaceful life. When I was a little girl I came there often. Many years have passed, so many things have changed but the dream-like memory of that small village is still vividly in my heart and the warm atmosphere of the evening there seep into my mind each time I feel tired of the urban life in Saigon city. Every evening, when the sun had just set behind Ngu Binh hills, all around us we could see the farmers walking home from the fields, tired after a long day of hard work. Some dogs were running toward their owners, wagging their tails and barking happily. The buffalos which had pulled plows along with the farmers during the hot day passed us on the way to the stables. High a top of one buffalo a boy play a lazy song with his bamboo flute as the animal slowly plodded onward. Far away, some cows were chewing the fresh grass. Here and there, kids were flying kites..

Echeveria Lola

By one life, live it
Image
2016 Echeveria 'Lola', possibly a hybrid of Echeveria lilacina, forms a sculpted rosette with a somewhat "rosebud" shape. Leaves are alabaster marble with a delicate blush of pinkish violet and tipped with rose. Rosette gives the impression of alabaster wax suffused with violet. Flowers are peach, bell-shaped and appear in spring.  2019 In habitat, many Echeverias grow on rocky outcroppings at higher altitudes. In this habitat, the water drains quickly away from the roots of the plant, never allowing the plant to remain waterlogged. For this reason, it is essential in cultivation to use a very porous soil, which will allow quick drainage. If Echeverias (or any other succulents don’t get enough ) sunlight they begin to stretch out ,  the plant start to turn and bend toward the light source. Then as it continues to grow it will get taller with more space between the leaves.  Bright light is required to prevent "stretching" o

My father and my mother were both born and grew up in Hue, a small town in the middle of Vietnam. Hue is a small town but they did not meet there until they were both in Saigon, some years later, where my father had come to study law and mom was deep into the study of philosophy. At that time they didn't have much chance of a courtship as students, but they became friends. Life moved forward and they both went their separate ways only to meet again in Quảng Tín, a small town near Hội An in the middle of VN. By that time, my father was a government official and my mother was teaching high school. They became reacquainted and as it happened, they fell in love. They returned to their traditional family home of Huế to marry in 1964 and by February, 1965 their first born daughter had arrived, a cute baby, me, hehe. Tam Kỳ 1965 Soon after I was born, my father was drafted into the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (normally called the South Vietnam Army). My mother quit he
