<\/p>\n
This summer, in the final days of July 2025, a group of us\u2014students from the Long Kh\u00e1nh inter-campus high school network, scattered across distant U.S. states like Houston, Seattle, Florida, and Southern California\u2014gathered for a reunion in a small town north of Sacramento, California.<\/p>\n Our purpose was to visit a beloved former teacher, who had taught us briefly at Long Kh\u00e1nh before his transfer to the National School of Administration in \u0110\u00e0 L\u1ea1t. Though his tenure with us was short, his gentle nature left us \u201cstudents\u201d with lasting, fond memories.<\/p>\n We convened in Loomis, a peaceful farming community north of Sacramento, where our teacher and his wife now live. The farmhouse is nestled among crops and flower gardens, surrounded by tranquil nature. Some of us had visited before, a few even multiple times. Aside from reuniting with our teacher, the highlight was staging a \u201cfilm shoot\u201d at the sprawling lotus ponds\u2014hundreds of giant blossoms\u2014and capturing the noisy flurry of chickens and ducks across his five-acre farm. The lotus flowers, enormous and fragrant in the fresh air, were irresistible to the girls (dressed in colorful \u00e1o b\u00e0 ba) who rowed a boat to pick blooms\u2014encouraged by a pro videographer in our group.<\/p>\n Our teacher, now over 80, and his wife\u2014an MD who has retired\u2014are still in good health, calm and gracious. Years ago, he ran a large, notable car repair business that received press attention and local commendations. After retiring, he embraced farming for pleasure, tending gardens, fruit trees, and two large ponds. One pond is for fish and seldom cared for nowadays; the other\u2014full of lotus blooms\u2014is maintained at great effort, including annual boat trips to clear invasive aquatic weeds. His loyal assistant\u2014a local American disciple\u2014has helped him for over 30 years. They tend a citrus orchard, and each harvest season they package and sell fruit from a stand in front of the house on an honor system\u2014even without supervision, sales reach into the tens of thousands, enough to cover fertilizer and water costs. Rural life truly is rewarding in its simplicity.<\/p>\n We coordinated our flight arrivals to ease transportation, and our teacher kindly drove to the airport two hours early to pick up an early arriver, just to spare us Uber fare. Once home, we had just enough time at sunset to admire the lotus pond before dinner.<\/p>\n That evening, as always, our teacher was thoughtful\u2014he served farm-fresh chicken, duck, fruits, lotus tea, and fine liquor including Remy Martin XO, Hennessy VSOP, and red wine. The gathering warmed our hearts. Conversation ranged from nostalgic school memories to current challenges and future plans. Each dish and each toast felt like an embrace from our teacher under the soft summer dusk.<\/p>\n Later that night, some of us had to rest early to prepare for the next morning\u2019s lotus-themed shoot (the \u201clotus-garden girls\u201d\u2014as we jokingly called them). At dawn, the aroma of coffee and kitchen chatter woke me\u2014just after 6\u202fa.m. in California (8\u202fa.m. in Texas, 9\u202fa.m. in Florida). Some on the West Coast took longer to wake. The girls joined my teacher in the kitchen to help with a hearty breakfast.<\/p>\n After breakfast, we returned to the lotus pond \u201cfilm set.\u201d Earlier someone had already jumped into the pond to clean and prepare the boat\u2014a sacrificial effort we appreciated. Then one by one, we took turns acting and capturing photos for hours. The tranquil beauty of the lotus petals drifting on the water, the boat gently nudged by breeze, and our laughter filled the scene. Life\u2019s worries seemed to vanish in that peaceful space, leaving only friendship, teacher\u2011student bonds, old memories, and the joy of reunion.<\/p>\n Once the sun climbed high and the lotus garden closed, we sat down again to enjoy our teacher\u2019s farm-fresh meal. Afterwards, we toured notable Sacramento-area sites\u2014especially the McKinley Park rose garden. Like our lotus pond, the rose garden offered quiet beauty among vibrant blooms and shaded walkways. Everyone posed in every corner, creating keepsakes of this precious time together. We then returned to Loomis, dining and chatting until bedtime in anticipation of the next day\u2019s drive south.<\/p>\n The next morning began again with coffee and chatter. Some relished dawn by the pond; others harvested fruit or strolled the gardens. Around 10\u202fa.m., we finally set out for the five-hour drive to Pismo Beach.<\/p>\n In two cars (five per vehicle), we drove south\u2014traffic was light until the inevitable regrouping at an In-N-Out Burger mid\u2011route. It\u2019s a stop our teacher favors on coastal trips. The burgers and friendly atmosphere made the long drive refreshing; shared stories and music made time pass quickly.<\/p>\n By 6\u202fp.m., we arrived at our spacious beach house in Pismo Beach. Ten of us fit comfortably; each had a private bedroom with cozy bedding. After settling in, our teacher and company set up kitchen tasks\u2014preparing meats, fish, and produce brought from Loomis. Some relaxed, watched TV, explored the house, or enjoyed drinks.<\/p>\n I slipped out to the beach at dusk. Although the moon was absent, the rhythmic sound of crashing waves and the call of seabirds filled me with serenity. I\u2019ve always loved the sea\u2014craving the hush of waves on sand, the sound as steady as the breath of a vast soul. Facing the ocean, I feel small yet centered; earthly worries vanish with each wave. The sea doesn\u2019t speak\u2014but it listens. Its roar is more than water striking land; it\u2019s the lullaby of earth and sky, the echo of memory and unnamed dreams. I could stand there for hours, toes in cold surf, gazing at silver horizons, letting my thoughts drift with the tides. For me, the sea is more than a landscape\u2014it\u2019s a place of meditation and peace. At dawn or dusk, its beauty seems otherworldly\u2014gentle like velvet at times, tempestuous like my own heart at others. Likely that\u2019s why I love it so deeply\u2014because in past years of piloting, the vast sky and sea were my two refuges. A glimpse of them stirs a longing that dissipates only with the song of waves.<\/p>\n Pulled from reverie by the dinner bell, I joined everyone inside. We feasted, laughed, drank, reviving the emptiness of a house unoccupied for weeks. This beach house was meant as a restful retreat for our teacher and wife\u2014not Airbnb\u2014but a sanctuary in their golden years. Though they frequently return to the farm, they enjoy coming here while they still drive. The yard remains lush with fruit trees\u2014mango, guava, dragon fruit, longans.<\/p>\n After dinner, some of us walked the beach one last time before sleep, savoring the sound of waves and nature\u2019s calm\u2014an aid to dreams before our final farewells.<\/p>\n The next morning brought smiles and coffee again before breakfast. I lingered to say goodbye to the sea\u2014singing softly to the waves and promising to return someday soon.<\/p>\n We packed and drove back to Loomis, two cars tailing each other. Though we intended to stick together, the convoy eventually split up. Texts and meet-ups at In-N-Out happened again.<\/p>\n We reached Loomis just after 6\u202fp.m. There was quiet unease as departure loomed. That night\u2019s dinner lacked the energy of our first arrival\u2014perhaps the end of play had dawned.<\/p>\n The final morning felt bittersweet; despite routine, a sadness lay beneath it. Days spent with teachers, friends, family were ending\u2014and no one felt joyous enough to sing of farewell. At our goodbyes, hugs lingered, wishes for peace filled the air, and promises to meet again next year\u2014by then with new stories and experiences to share.<\/p>\n This trip offered each of us a wonderful chapter: to renew friendship, honor our teacher\u2011student bond, and most importantly, realize that however life changes, human connection, memory, care, and love remain timeless.<\/p>\n As I bring these final lines of our travelogue to a close, I would like to extend, on behalf of all of us, our heartfelt gratitude to our beloved teachers who welcomed us with open arms and genuine affection. The days we spent together in reunion were truly precious\u2014filled with laughter and beautiful memories that we will forever cherish in our hearts. We wish you abundant health and peace in all things. And we hope that, before long, we will have the joy of meeting again in the spirit of friendship and love.<\/p>\n Late Summer 2025<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" M\u00f9a h\u00e8 n\u0103m nay, ph\u1ea7n cu\u1ed1i c\u1ee7a th\u00e1ng B\u1ea3y 2025, ch\u00fang t\u00f4i, m\u1ed9t nh\u00f3m b\u1ea1n h\u1ecdc trong kh\u1ed1i Li\u00ean tr\u01b0\u1eddng Trung H\u1ecdc Long Kh\u00e1nh, t\u1eeb c\u00e1c ti\u1ec3u bang xa x\u00f4i c\u1ee7a n\u01b0\u1edbc M\u1ef9 nh\u01b0 Houston, Seattle, Florida, v\u00e0 Nam California, \u0111\u00e3 quy\u1ebft \u0111\u1ecbnh t\u1ed5 ch\u1ee9c m\u1ed9t cu\u1ed9c h\u1ed9i ng\u1ed9 t\u1ea1i m\u1ed9t th\u00e0nh ph\u1ed1 nh\u1ecf, ph\u00eda […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,23,17],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thovanyenson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17970"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thovanyenson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thovanyenson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thovanyenson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thovanyenson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17970"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/thovanyenson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17970\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18034,"href":"https:\/\/thovanyenson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17970\/revisions\/18034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thovanyenson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thovanyenson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thovanyenson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/thovanyenson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_4959-scaled-e1753912614693.jpg\")
