The great art of little earthlings~
How perfect is a spiderweb? A little creature creating a mandala many times its size in a beautiful design that makes me gasp each time I see one. Even the rain falls in love with this great art. How wonderful our planet can be if we only stop to notice. Day 6 of 365

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” – Albert Einstein My biggest fear in life is if I were to one day lose the awe of being alive. If that were ever to happen then life…

Yes, the Shanghainese still sport pajamas in the street. It is mostly the older generations, but wearing sleepwear outdoors is still a wide custom and is seen on a daily basis around city streets. The reasons, when you investigate, vary from the fact of people sharing bathrooms outside their homes with other families, to comfort,…
