March 28 2026! Has it been two full years since March of 2024?
The previous chapter of my life was blessed with beautiful stories, mixed with sadness, pain, grace, nostalgia, gratitude, mercy, and most of all, love. Am I ready for another first chapter of my life?

Bean and RohRoh came into my life and soon Cupcake
Time is always flowing. Yet, the space itself is a bridge across the two time lines. The patio in Verdant is the real world of the coffee chair in "Before the Coffee Gets Cold" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi . The patio is the bridge between the two timelines One has stoped and its moments are always frozen – in my mind. One has been opened. Am I still in the in-between or ready to jump into the next time line of my life.
The telescope had always remained sealed in the box ever since July/August of 2021 until June of 2025. I never used it, even though, in my mind, the plan I had for it is still fresh, like yesterday. I bought it so that we could do stargazing during our months in Riverside. That never happened. Yet, I assembled it in 2025. Perhaps, I was still stubbornly clinging to a train of time, that had already left the station. I gave the telescope away in 2025. On its barrel, I wrote I am moving on to the next chapter of my life :)
These frames are the markers of the in-between, like the car was zipping through Highway 130 – the transitional/windy highway between the 2 sides of the mountain.
The ring on the little figurine of you holding Peachy/Butter/Mochi and other items were bathing in the afternoon sunlight. It was a random Sunday. I couldn’t recall anymore, yet I always remember the feeling that was baked into the film.
And so ...
Here comes the next chapter!
Floating love
Door of destinies
