The Many Sides of Sea in May

A morning walk to the sea


Seats by the beach


A solemn evening at white beach



Lovely night walk at the beach
Fabulous. This is a month of sea outing for me.
I am glad that I am raised in a town of sea.
I love to reside nearby the sea. Despite the water turbulence of world disasters, I still hold that I am never bored with the sea.

I am blessed to walk nearby the sea. The voice of the sea and its sparkling blue gem greet the houses in the surrounding areas. The school children have fun. Young couples and family are walking together with laughter and joy.
Surfers manoeuver the classic and new waves. Older ones are enjoying the cuppa nearby the beach cafe.

Walking to the never-been-before seas and a re-visit to former beaches give a refreshing sense and I smell new respiration.
I wish time could stop. Right now.

The Power of Being in the Moment

My favourite sweet spot in the garden

My gigantic hugging tree at green linear

Walking down to town in the early evening

Casting of the late noon sun upon the church
 

Every moment , be it the past, present and future stores a meaning behind it.
I suppose mapping the foreign terrain will build a bigger collection of the power of being in the moment.
When I made the decision to leave a familiar place of many years and though it means no fixed homes, there are no regrets in restrospect.
If I have not, I would not have learned much and learning better each day.
Many things could stay the same but I know I won't be.
In this life, unless we make a little bold steps and further, we never know how much we could be.

A person who is alive is constantly getting lost. The big thing...is to realize that this your own adventure, and that all the field guides....holding up mirrors can only flash you...a glimpse of your own story. It's yours to savor. It belongs to no one else.

Bonnie F.


Yes, there are always something that no one can steal from us. Only we ourselves can feel it within. Only we can tell the story. The encounter of extraordinary moments that was written in our heart, soul and mind.
Whether in the company of our loved ones, the community and on our own.

As I was walking alone the street of this lovely town, I feel blessed. It was a beautiful, sunny day in the midst of chill. I left my trail at the little cottages, art galleries and cafes which dotted along the street. The cathedral stood tall and bathed in evening light. 'Blessed' became the vocabulary of the day.
After all, these moments are hard to come when the pouring rain may hold its mercy.

Colder


Autumn trees on my way to town

The old autumn foliages

Autumn is making its way for winter. It's getting colder.
As dark falls earlier than the day, time is edging at a quicker pace which I couldn't earn.
Couldn't sleep well of late. Dun wanna hold on to those tablets somehow. Hating capsules, these never change.

Somehow, I love to embrace the chill at times. A sense of freedom and quietness entered the soul.
Yea, I just want silence and the sea. I learn to cherish what's more important and worthwhile for the soul, heart, mind and spirit.

There are moments that couldn't be bought. There are moments where we cannot turn back. However, there are moments that will not be forgotten because of its significance, depth and breadth that only you experience and feel throughout which stays in your heart. Which I thank Almighty God for those extraordinary, amazing moments.
