healing in a season of rest

Rest is not a sign of weakness; it is a powerful choice to honour the needs of your soul and nurture your spirit. – Unknown

I only managed to write a few blogs in the past one year. In those infrequent blog entries, I shared a glimpse of my journey through a season of rest…

“Stepping… no, jumping out of comfort zone!”

The questions frequently posed to me throughout last year were all related to my employment status. My answer to the string of “Are you working?”, “When are you going to work?” and “Have you started working yet?” etc. was “next year”….

我的阈限空间

最近我学了一个新词 — “阈限空间”。( “yù xiàn kōngjiān” – liminal space）

“Liminal (阈限)” 源自拉丁语 “limen”，意思是 “门槛”。阈限空间指的是。。。

my liminal space

I was introduced to the term “liminal space” recently.

“Liminal” is derived from the Latin word “limen”, which means “threshold”. Liminal space is a place of transition, it can be in architecture and from one physical location to the other, such as long empty corridors, staircases, carparks or uninhabited areas in a building etc., and it can also be a state of being.

a short trip to artsy Chiang Mai, Thailand

I know it probably feels very funny if not odd that I am writing a travel blog now, in the midst of a year-long pandemic that we have yet to see the true end of it. Well, it obviously was a trip I made when it was still safe to do so and long before…

encouraging the encourager
