Tall Miracles

This book is a series of light essays in twenty-six self-containing themes (A-Z) about life and its lessons, miracles and faith, history, current topics, and positive psychology. The themes are rich in true stories, questions, quotes, figures, examples, insights, and revelations; they flow by way of idea association. Nostalgic and fun stories about Hong Kong, America, Shanghai, and Australia (places where the author has lived) are interspersed with witty Cantonese slangs, songs, poetry, and humor. It contains cultural reflections of the way of life in Hong Kong half a century ago, societal changes since, and comparisons with modern-day norms. It also brings to attention global issues and points to ponder as broad as global warming and poverty to games we used to play and baby language. It is written for those who desire health, happiness, and fulfillment-look good, feel good, have a good life, and want a perfect one. It prompts us to appreciate miracles and angels that are abound in life yet often go unnoticed. It invites readers to consider how good a life they may already have and act to get a perfect one without expiry. Occasional Chinese words may entrance those who read them. Enjoy!
