A coffee at Wharerata

It was a sunny morning of spring in its full swing, at Wharerata. We chose the sweet things and the drinks at the counter, we decided to be outside in the garden, and we talked. We were open to every thing ranging from our children, our ex- boyfriends, our marriage, to women's thinkings and concerns, family's issues and the research. We were talking like mum and daughter, friends, and women. We got to know more each other as person, and felt connected.

"Let me take you for a walk", and we moved to under a big tree, in a bench, stayed silent to sense the difference and the unspoken love, and to feel overwhelmed, and we continued along the fern walk. We were hidden away from the reality and some possible current distance between each other and merged into one heart, in which we were feeling as humans without any boundaries. I became speechless then, was feeling the sensation and the purity of love, between two persons from two different worlds.

"I am from England and you are from Vietnam, and we meet", I was then being brought beyond any limitations to fully sense the connection of two humans and truthful love. It was too sensational to be verbally spoken. There was definitely much more than what I could utter "I love you".

That's how the coffee at Wharerata became a slice of my life, very flavourful and meaningful for me to realise how we can get connected and merged into the immensity of love.

Who I am

It is something I am seeking for answers when it comes to the question of Who I am. But, according to Prof White, I am not a gourmet in a buffet. Instead, I must be a scientist of a dish in that buffet. :)

The definition of who i am surely goes beyond the research area in order for it to be comprehensive. In this journey of seeking the definition, which i believe is endless, (and this post thus possibly is endless too), it is the elements that help giving meanings to the definition and the catalysts that help transforming the content that are captured and valued more than the final product of definition.
