Watched Past Lives and cried myself to sleep. Some reflections: open.substack.com/pub/senzhan/p/…

@innerpathing This view of my bathroom that has been an oasis of calm and airiness for the last three years.

What about you? What beauty is in your moment?

My primary spiritual practice is savoring the beauty of the present moment

@SankaChandima It is a moving image, and the tragedy in Syria would certainly justify the creation of a piece of art like this. However, this piece is digitally generated, and the artist states he never meant for it to be interpreted otherwise. factcheck.afp.com/computer-gener…

Syrian artist in Aleppo built this replica of the Statue of Liberty with the remains of his house, adding the slogan "This is the freedom they (USA) brought us. "

Catching up on the Twitter game! Who should I follow in the Third Culture / Asian Diaspora / Cultural Legacy domains?
