Telepathy with plants

Posted in 山 明 水 秀 by xina

click to see more green snapshots taken during hiking in HK…

When i put my hand onto a plant or tree, we exchange our mind atoms…

Mind atoms are what constituting “self”.

We think “self” is “myself”, but it’s not… it’s just a collection of mind atoms attracted to each other.

They got loosened in dreams, or whenever they want to join another pool of mind atoms.
Some of my atoms are too tired walking around and find a peaceful shelter joining the tree… whereas some atoms may get bored staying inside tree and attach to me through telepathy…

sometimes i feel a bit dizzy after telepathy with plants… maybe the atoms have been staying immobile too long with trees and lose their balance walking around again?

sometimes we don’t exchange atoms, just telepathy, and we exchange memories, perspectives, and feelings… I get dizzy afterwards too, as my atoms getting more tree-like now. If some tree atoms attached to me, i will know… as i will be getting more inquisitive but less aggressive, more peaceful but less pessimistic…

i like going to the mountain, it’s like going home…

世貿透視:公義、偽善、真相、假象

Posted in 大 城 小 景 by xina

(轉載自: 黎廣德.香港可持續發展公民議會主席)

世貿第六次部長级會議結束。塵埃落定後,在香港人的腦海中只會交織着以下的印象:

WTO 壹周刊照片曾蔭權元首式開幕詞的君臨天下、維園集會的多元文化嘉年華、韓國農民三步一叩首的悲情、歐美代表的冷漠高傲、非政府組織聲嘶力竭的控訴、灣仔淪陷的驚心動魄、曾俊華宣佈大功告成的躊躇滿志………。

一週過去、一切依舊、紅隧如常擠塞,這就是香港人的世貿?

事實上、在一大堆陌生名詞的背后 - 「公平貿易」、「出口補貼」、「市場准入」、「綠箱」、「黄箱」、「國內援助」、「瑞士公式」- 是無數活生生的農民、工人、消費者、企業經營者,賴以維持生計及改善生活質素的遊戲規則。

go-elsewhere launched!

Posted in 部 落 格 言 by xina

Launch of site is followed by nearly a week of sleepless nights, to migrate the content hosted in blogspirit to my own website. Blogging is fun with wordpress! You can sign up a free Wordpress blog for a trial.

And bluehost has provided an excellent service (and very reasonably priced given their service level) with great integration with wordpress! They have an auto program named “Fantastico.” With just a few clicks, wordpress and a web of website-related programs (e.g. discussion board, calendar, gallery, guest book and even shopping cart) will be automatically installed. You can then run your blog professionally and efficiently.

Street tango

Posted in 大 城 小 景 by xina


Weekend nite along the tsim sha tsui waterfront promenade is a surprise… haven’t been there at holiday nite for many years… kinda afraid it would be too crowded, too noisy, too touristic… Last nite, a friend told me there would be some tango enthusiasts dancing there; I like to experiment with my new canon ixus 550 camera too, so i went there…

Erotic music, gliding steps… suddenly the toilet-like tile (all our public places are covered by similar tile) turn into pebble sidewalk somewhere in argentina… My eyes follow their feet to turn round and round, hoping to grasp the steps… but harder i try to remember, more confused i am… Maybe we should forget our brain and let our body lead when we dance?
On another spot, we have the cross-over of chinese 2-string (二胡), guitar and drum, an old women sings some chinese folk songs… Anyone want to sing can just join in the chorus… Strange is that most music performers are old people, while young peole are by-standers, shy ones, only other old and mainland audience dare to join the show spontaneously…

In another performing circle, a wizard dance with a tribal singer! again both are elderly people…ohoh… How strange is this city — old people are far crazier and more fun-loving than young ones!!??
