I was quite surprised to see some orchids blooming in my garden. Usually as soon as the hot season has arrived, most orchids would become quietly dormant. I wished I could have learnt some wisdom from these orchids. They knew how to survive in unfavouble conditions and waited for the right time to shine.
The price of silver has increased by almost 80% since the day I bought my silver beads years ago. At that time, I knew that I should get some silver beads as the return should be higher than bank interests. I also knew that I would easily spend all my extra cash income so it’s better to stash some silver. I did some reading that silver should do very well in the future. But the market manipulation of silver prices had been very disappointing as the return on gold bars went through the roof this year.
I was wallking around the shopping mall two weeks ago and I stumbled on two new sweet shops recently opened in the food zone in the basement. These two sweet stalls made traditional Thai sweets with premium ingredients as they were well known vendors with long family tradition of making Thai sweets. So, I was very glad to find these Thai sweets shops a few meters from my favourite wine shop.
I did start this post several days ago, but other things distracted me and I was catapulted into a different circumference. Life had a strange way to throw one off the routine cycle of daily life. It was more of a struggle between the inner world of perception and the immediate reality. Thoughts and feelings had a way of gojnf after a wild chase of abstract reconciliation and conclusions of what was really happening. It was like a journey into the abyss to seek the truth and answers which seemed to remain elusive. Only when the mind could catch up with its own shadow by sitting quietly still as as a result of the marathon trip, then peace came as a result of coming to term with all the confusions.
Life has been a bit fragmented and confusing lately. I found that living in the city and being far away from nature meant that I quickly lost my sense of grounding and common sensibility. The shift to the Thai New Year (Songkran) in mid-April and new alignments of all the major planets have affected my energetic fields of vibrations. My sense of time and duration has also become kinky and muddle. Then, I realised the importance of being close to nature and the earth as my being would become ‘sick’ or go haywire when my body couldn’t get in touch with nature’s vibes of the countryside.
Most people have been complaining about the hot weather in the big city. My neighbours refused to get outside for two days. But she was luckier than me as she could use the air conditioning system. My place was too old and thexwater would leak out of the air- con tray on to the ceiling, so I couldn’t use the air-con. I didn’t mind this so long as my big fan worked normally. I didn’t want to take the easy way out and it’s better to train myself to take some little discomfort and hardship. I knew the future would be very tough and full of difficulties so I needed my training, just in case.
