Today is the Fourth of July and it’s also my niece's birthday. I still recall the day I left for the US, my sisters and little niece sent me off at the airport. She was so small but for some reason she knew I was going to be gone for a long while. She squeezed my hand so hard and wouldn’t let me go. Now she is a first grader and will be moving to Beijing soon. Wish her a great birthday with all those who celebrate the Independence Day in America.
On my way home, I noticed the half-full moon hanging quietly in the sky. Can you believe we can actually see the moon in Taipei? I wonder how many people would take a moment and look into the sky tonight. Sometimes, we rush to do this and that and forget to stop for a minute to look around the enviornment. You’ll be surprised to see the beauty of nature even in this city jungle. ICRT is playing one of my favorite bands, ColdPlay. I feel content, really. It’s one of those days in life; I don’t need to worry about anything just relaxing and doing some self-reflection.
Fourth of July, yeah, I wish I could be at the top of Mon-Pelerin, overlooking the great Geneva Lake. I bet the lying-down-on-the-ground cherry tree must have lots of cherries now. It was such an unforgettable surprise stomping upon that tree on a serene summer afternoon.
