Serenity Hub in the Backyard
A Buddha statue for calmness
Who does not want tranquility,
we all,
but going to shrine,
not always possible.
So, I created one
in the backyard,
in the northwest corner.
A pebble path
hugged by daisies and mint,
surrounded by succulents
leads to a Buddha statue.
When I feel burnout,
I go and sit there,
watching Buddha’s peaceful face.
Sometimes I add seasonal flowers,
while listening to finches sing.
It is my personal serenity hub,
and I am proud of this nook,
where I inhale fresh air,
indulge in mindfulness,
and find meditative peace.

Book Review: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I flipped the book over in my hands in the centre of the small airport book shop. Although I had heard promising reviews of Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, I hesitated. The synopsis didn’t compel me - I wasn’t much of a space girly. In high school it made me cringe when my peers would talk about the stars.
