i was watching the movie the flowers of war last night, and couldn't stop thinking how lucky i am: born in a peaceful era and country, a happy family, a cozy home having hot water in winter, nutritious food at dinner, solid wifi connections for me to explore the good and the bad.
ironically, i have tons of wars in my mind: worries about the future, regrets about the past, stress about the moment.
i didn't see the real peace and love i have, but rather let me mind fly with the imaginary chaos.
for every worry and regret i had, i was saying no to what's real and what i have at the moment.
what do i have?
love
family
friends
health
food
... ...
and
this moment: my fingers are touching the keyboard and typing this blog article. my eyes are staring at the wild sweet orange tea while thinking.
