Taken in the Bay Area

It was succulent propagation day today! I've become newly obsessed with succulents and how they can propagate through cuttings and leaves. I was at my friend's home the other day and saw these beautiful succulents growing abundantly in the yard. I asked her if I could take a few to propagate and here we are :-)

今天是肉质植物的繁殖日！我最近迷上了肉质植物，以及它们如何通过扦插和叶子繁殖。前几天我在朋友家，看到这些美丽的肉质植物在院子里茂盛地生长着。我问她是否可以用一些来播种，现在我们在这里：-）

Taken in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

Dancer pose (natarajasana) is easily one of my favorite yoga poses, probably because I'm also a dancer and this pose just feels good! It always helps me to balance if I remind myself to kick back with my raised foot and reach forward with my opposite arm. As long as I am kicking back and reaching forward with equal strength then I have an easy time balancing.

舞蹈家(娜拉贾亚森)是我喜欢的瑜伽姿势之一，很可能是因为我也是个舞者，这姿势感觉很好！如果我提醒自己用抬起的脚踢回去，用我的另一只手臂向前伸，这总能帮助我保持平衡。只要我能以同样的力量向前踢，我就能轻松地平衡。

Taken in Alleppey, India

I was on the ferry traveling from Alleppey to Kottayam while listening to the audiobook "Braiding Sweetgrass". The ferry ride was two hours of slow bliss through the backwaters. Right after taking this photo I heard the author, Robin Wall Kimmerer's, voice in my headphones saying: “Knowing that you love the earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond.” I was definitely feeling loved by the earth while swaying in the ferry, listening to the birds and splashes of water, and being surrounded by the soft faces of strangers who call this place home.

我在渡船上，从阿莱帕尼到科特亚姆，听着有声读物《编织的甜草》。渡船在回水里缓慢地行驶了两个小时。在拍完这张照片后，我听到了作者Robin Wall Kimmerer的声音，他在我的耳机里说:“知道你爱地球改变了你，激活了你去捍卫、保护和庆祝它。但当你感觉到大地爱你作为回报时，那种感觉把你的关系从单行道变成了神圣的羁绊。” 当我在渡船上摇摇晃晃地走着，听着鸟儿和水的溅水声，被那些把这个地方称为家的陌生人的柔软的面孔包围着时，我确实感到被大地所喜爱。
