Dear friends,
I had an incredible week. Every day I received gifts from friends and colleagues around me. I had food, big bouquets of flowers, fresh fruit and vegetables, and even clothes! Apart from these, I also received stories, happiness and sorrows, also book recommendations.
I was recommended the book MOMO by Michael Ende, a beautiful story with incredible imagination, patience, and love. In this disaster of time, MOMO was once troubled, until she realised that she was trapped in her own sorrows and forgot that her friends were suffering also. The moment she had this revelation, she gained courage and determination to protect her friends - that is love awakening. This story inspires me to think beyond myself by caring others. It is through interaction with people around me that I’ve learned, and amazed by, how conversations could develop an idea by pushing its boundaries, like a bud bursting from a seed.
What also touched me was Michael Ende’s concept of time - time is something we feel with our hearts. If we resist to embrace it with our heart and soul, time would be lost and meaningless. The more time we strive to save, the less we actually preserve.
I am grateful for this precious opportunity to walk on the earth and experience life.
Best wishes,
Yu

The Social Life of Materials
I have been fascinated by the subject of “everyday life”. Our daily life is framed by the constant interaction with the materials around us.
