Day One Hundred Fifty, June 21, 2011

They appear as if from nothing, the expand at an impossible speed and they disappear almost just as fast. Most mushrooms behave this way. They are one of the mysteries that have always fascinated me. When things appear and disappear in a short time compared to all else around them, like Native American sand paintings, that are there to serve a purpose, to deliver an essence, a message and then off they go, it is a great wonder to contemplate…

Yes, the rains have returned to soak Shanghai again after giving the Sun a very short mushroom appearance.
