A Chat With My Heavenly Dog On The 5th Anniversary Of His Passing

Ying Ying — Sun, 06 May 2018 03:43:12 +0000

I know you know, that on this day I am thinking of you. But in fact you are in my mind and heart every day, every day of the past five years; sometimes you just appear for a short time as the memories surface; other times you linger quite a bit and get me leak…

A Little Joy

Ying Ying — Thu, 19 Oct 2017 08:43:10 +0000

When life is a struggle, and you slip down from that steep ladder you are climbing, or you slide backwards in the midst of a stormy season, you only wish the sudden arrival of a little joy, a slight elation that shows life worthy of living. At times all you need is only that softening…

A Love Song—For Max, My Late Four-Legged Best Friend

Ying Ying — Thu, 04 May 2017 10:21:49 +0000

There we went, You took me, probably God sent. Across the grass and the sand; Through hustle and bustle; Beyond time and space; We did run the run and made it to the end. When the day was done And the race was won, You and I would regret none. Never mind the rain…

The Concept of Happiness and Our Obsession about It

Ying Ying — Sat, 18 Feb 2017 10:42:55 +0000

In the beginning of every new year, we wish one another happiness. Everyone welcomes such a wish, for ultimately that’s what humans long for since the birth of mankind. But what exactly do we want? We often hear people say, “I just want to be happy.” But what exactly is it that gives us happiness?…

A Letter from Max—-In memory of the Third Anniversary of His Passing

Ying Ying — Mon, 15 Aug 2016 06:46:16 +0000

Dear Mami, I thought I should write to you when the other day I saw you waking up and sitting in bed, crying. I stayed by your side for a while, watching you make those funny noises when you blew your nose, as if unloading your inner self. You put the used and damp…

The Protective Hands

Ying Ying — Wed, 13 Apr 2016 03:01:05 +0000

The Protective Hands As she was closing the curtains, she caught sight of the lightning. They forecast a thunderstorm; but her mind was wandering around about something else. It’s a routine to close the curtains, like many other routines: washing the clothes, cooking a meal, preparing for breakfast for tomorrow…She wasn’t particularly aware that it…

The Walk in the Rain—-January, 2016

Ying Ying — Wed, 06 Jan 2016 07:40:48 +0000

She turned her eyes again to the rain. Unrelenting, persistent rain. Three and a half days of rain, and it was still going, drop by drop, and then many drops together, forming a veil, blurring the vision. No, no vision of a carefree walk in the park; the water in the puddles would splash and stain…

Contemplation, and how it is almost lost – September, 2015

Ying Ying — Tue, 22 Sep 2015 10:07:31 +0000

It is a word many have almost lost; even if it appears occasionally, its meaning is insignificant or has become obscure to post-modern people. Contemplation is deep, serious and quiet thoughts for a period of time. It is purposeful and it requires total concentration of the person undergoing it. We are trained to multi-task by highly advanced…

Missing Max – Second Anniversary of Max’s passing, 2nd of May, 2015

Ying Ying — Fri, 01 May 2015 22:00:01 +0000

So how have you been, my Maxi boy? The days went on, then came the weeks, and formed the months; two years have slipped through my hands. Not one single day without thinking of you. They say time heals—but that’s beside the point. Missing you needs no healing. I so enjoy, thinking of you. I…

Compassion Is Turning a Loving Feeling into Necessary Action—–April, 2015

Ying Ying — Fri, 03 Apr 2015 10:05:35 +0000

It is not enough to be sympathetic. It will not make any real difference to be just concerned. If our feelings remain only in our hearts for us to feel good about ourselves, we are not making any contribution to humanity. Compassion is to take action, turning a loving feeling into necessary action. No wonder…
