Cảnh đẹp quá. Cảm ơn cô Sophie. 


Tiếc là gần đây, bão Yagi đã phá tan hoang cả miền Bắc. - KD.

Dạ, không có chi. 

Khi bão Yagi vào miền Bắc Việt Nam Sophie đang đi road trip. Lúc đó Sophie có đọc sơ qua về Yagi trên điện thoại nhưng khi về đến nhà đọc thêm thì mới biết là không những cảnh vật bị hủy hoại mà còn rất nhiều người bị thiệt mạng vì cơn bão này.

Sophie chúc anh Khuyết Danh có một cuối tuần vui vẻ và bình an.

Em yêu sự tĩnh lặng và không khí trong lành, yêu luôn những làn gió nhẹ vuốt ve mái tóc và yêu cả hương thơm dịu ngọt của buổi bình minh. Đối với em bình minh có sức quyến rũ thật huyền diệu tựa một bài thơ tình lãng mạn chứa chan bao cảm xúc mãnh liệt của đam mê và ao ước đang phập phồng cháy bỏng trong trái tim ai.

Em lặng lẽ ngắm bình minh xua tan bóng tối một cách kỳ diệu để rồi không chỉ soi sáng nẻo đường em đi mà còn sưởi ấm tâm hồn em bằng ánh sáng cùng những tia nắng ban mai thật tuyệt vời.

Có bao giờ em thổ lộ với anh rằng anh chính là bình minh tuyệt diệu của em?




"Who comes to a lake for water and sees the reflection of the moon?"

[Sophie]

”Once upon a time a student monk went to his master and said: "Master, I can't live in this temple anymore. I want to leave this place and go to a peaceful and quiet monastery." The master monk asked: "Why? What's wrong with this temple? Tell me what happened?" So the student monk said: "You see, Master, everyone in this temple is toxic to me. There are so many monks who are just too much into politics and there are some who always talk negatively about me and others and there are some who spent their whole day just doing nothing but gossiping. I don't think that I can practice my spiritual life in this temple. Please let me go to a peaceful and quiet monastery where there are no toxic people around me."

The master monk listened attentively to the student and said: "Okay, Student. I will let you go, but before going, you have to do me a favor." The student replied: "Tell me, Master, what should I do for you?" The master monk took a spoon full of water and gave it to the student monk and told him that he must carry the spoon around the monastery and bring it back to him without spilling a single drop of water. The master monk added: "If you can do that, I will let you go to a peaceful monastery."

Eager to complete this task so he could go to a peaceful monastery, the student monk took the spoon and carried it around the monastery while being fully focused on not spilling a single drop. After a long while the student monk came back to the master with a happy face and said: "Master, I did it! I carried this spoon full of water around the monastery without spilling a drop from it. So now please let me go to a peaceful monastery." 

The master monk smiled and said: "Okay, my Student, as promised you are free to go. But before you go, just tell me one thing. While you were carrying the spoon full of water around the monastery, did you hear any of the monks talking about politics? Did you hear any of the monks gossiping about you and other people? Did you hear any of the monks talking negatively?" The student monk replied: "No, Master. I was fully focused on the spoon and I didn't have any time to listen to all those noises." 

Just then the master monk said: "See, my Student, if you are fully focused on your goal and on your purpose, you don't have time to listen to all those other negative noises around you. Remember, wherever you go in this world you will meet negative people around you. But if you are fully focused on your goal and on your larger purpose, all the other negative people and negative words that you hear are nothing but just noises. So don't focus on other people's behaviors, other people's words and other people's lives and get sidetracked from your true path and goal. Focus on your life and yourself, instead."”

Kể từ khi mê chụp ảnh mình bỗng dưng không còn hứng thú với những ngày nắng chói chang nữa mà lại thích bầu trời âm u, ảm đạm, sương mù dày đặc lẫn khung trời mưa rơi lác đác…

"Compassion is not hard to come by when the heart is not filled with the cunning things of the mind. It is the mind with its demands and fears, its attachments and denials, its determinations and urges, that destroys love. And how difficult it is to be simple about all this! You don't need philosophies and doctrines to be gentle and kind."

"Compassion is action without motive, without self-interest, without any sense of fear, without any sense of pleasure."

"If you have the choice between being right and being kind, choose being kind."

Autumn 2024
























Michelle, ma belle
These are words that go together well
My Michelle
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble

I love you, I love you, I love you
That's all I want to say
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that you'll understand

[Sophie]

Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start?

With her first hello
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
There'd never be another love another time
She came into my life and made the living fine

She fills my heart
She fills my heart with very special things
With angel songs, with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go, I'm never lonely
With her along who could be lonely?
I reach for her hand, it's always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now, but this much I can say
I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away
And she'll be there
