Dear Bruce,

Nice to hear from you. I am doing alright. Thank you for your concern.

Yes, I have not been writing the blog for a while. There are moments in life when one suddenly realizes that things are not what they seem to be. I have realized that I don’t really know anything the way I thought I do. It was humbling. And in some way, it is also enlightening. I had to reexamine my intention, motivation and qualification of writing such blog, and consider the possible impression I cast out, and the responsibility I assume in doing so. I have so much more to learn.

I am currently spending a lot more time learning, exploring humanity, making friends, collecting information about real life, instead of drawing conclusions about other people’s life that I have not much understanding of. It is a fascinating journey, towards deeper understanding. I wish I will eventually be in more light, or understand more about darkness. And hopefully someday I may even see light from within the darkness.

I am not giving up writing the blog. But I don’t know when I will be so inspired to write more, or What to write. In fact, the first section of the blog has already come to it’s own natural conclusion when I started writing about “The Art of Pleasure”. Appreciate our own existence, enjoy our environment and people around us, create our own “Art of Pleasure” — everyone can make his/her own list. And maybe share some ideas with me? I have intended the blog to record and share more than just my own findings and thoughts. A monologue should not last endlessly anyway.

I am so grateful that I have friends out there who even noticed that I stopped writing, and concerned enough to inquire. Thank you very much!!!

Sherri
