Thank you very much for sharing your...Hello Qiang,<br /><br />Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful tribute in words and art to a very special person! My husband and I had the good fortune to know this lady, as a friend and neighbor, for several years, until we moved away. It has been many years since we saw her last, however her presence in our lives left a lasting impression. I think what we will remember the most was her kindness and generosity! She was an excellent cook and would frequently share her wonderful home made buns, dumplings, and other specialties with us. She tried to show me how to make a few things, but I could never duplicate them as well. I also admired how strong minded she was. She was smart and a hard worker and when she set her mind on something she did it. She was always ready for a trip and loved to travel. Even traveling half way around the world with limited vision, due to cataracts, it didn’t prevent her from traveling anywhere. It has been a blessing to know her, and we share in the loss with her close family and friends. And to her devoted daughter and son-in-law, who patiently cared for her since the very beginning of her convalescence to the end of her life, all the love given was not lost but lives on! <br /><br />Susan ElgarfSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15233209893651109785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-30687096266318966772010-12-06T22:48:55.875-06:002010-12-06T22:48:55.875-06:00This is beautiful in words and spirit.

I think some people such as artist can fall into such a revelry and it blurs the line between wakefulness and dreaming as to how we experience what is roughly analogous to a 'holograph of awareness'. Yea, it does seem that the induced coma of anesthesia is totally void of content, at least any memory of that state must be totally obliterated upon waking. But just to be able to experience life so intensely is very beautiful regardless if existence is, as if, a temporary event. <br />Keep posting!

This dearest person in your life, will always be with you. Such a wonderful memory of her, that you shared with us. Thank you for that, Qiang. <br />Is life a delusion? Fascinating question for the engineer side of you. Perhaps the quandry, might be the transitory and unexpected nature, of how & when our atoms are re-arranged. For now, they are in a "matter" form of energy. And without as much as a ripple in time, this matter, can be converted to a "non-matter" energy, such as light. And the conversion still retains the mass. We are 'there" in mass or light, but not "there" in matter. Sometimes, maybe we are too quick to define "life", only by what is presently in the 'matter form" of energy. Many thoughts to ponder while painting lotus blossoms. A peaceful heart to you, Qiang.<br />M.
