Yunnan Reflection Part II: 去有风的地方

去有风的地方 · Yunnan · A Place Where the Wind Knows Your Name

当人生到了低谷期，

我们终究还是会遇到最恶劣的自己

当世界感到阴暗

那我们就先善待自己

我们去有风的地方

In life’s not-so-fancy moments, these questions become real:

How do we lift our own hearts? How do we steady our inner world when everything else feels heavy?

For me, I’ve always turned to writing, words, simple lines, that would lift me up

去有风的地方，重新呼吸

去有风的地方，我们：

带着漂亮的心情

去做自己想做的事

去看美丽的事与物

去遇见有趣的灵魂

Yunnan’s landscape — mountains and sun, old roofs and temples, animals wandering freely. Calm, rustic, soft, and quietly vibrant. Just what I needed as I look to close this year ❤️

在云南，

我感受到了慢下来的风

那种风，吹散了一些执念

也吹来了一些新的勇气

A Quiet Intention：

There was a moment of downtime in my life when I told myself: “From now, I will only let beautiful things into my eyes.” So I set a simple intention, one quiet intention that I could return to, on difficult days:

From now:

See beautiful things

Meet beautiful souls

Hold only beautiful thoughts

Slowly, nature steadied me.

Soul-like individuals crossed my path.

Beauty softened the way I think,

and the wind reorganised my heart gently, patiently.

The Practice of Inner Steadiness：

Looking back now, I understand something I didn’t before: Inner steadiness is intentional.

The more we practise gentleness with ourselves, the easier it becomes. The more we choose beauty, the more we learn to humour ourselves, the more naturally our hearts lean toward lightness. And with time, I mean real time, we do grow past the heaviness.

当我们开始带着意图生活

世界也会悄悄开始对齐

不是一下子翻转

而是像山间的风一样

轻、暖、慢、却足以把心吹回轻盈

去有风的地方

去让风告诉你

你已经在路上了

And as the wind continues to move, I will continue to move towards lightness
