And bathe in all the tides of nature,

in all her streams 

and oceans,

Motif1 - Heyri Art Village

Motif1 was my first accomodation in Korea and it remains to be one of my most memorable stay. The effervescent Mr. Lee An Soo & his lovely big collie welcomed us with such warmth and friendship that is so hard to forget.

His home (located within Heyri Art Village in Paju City) emanates a seemingly effortless style that resonated so well with me. There's a bit of spontaneity in the air that makes you want to express unreservedly. Early in the morning, I tiptoed to the living room, picked up a book of piano classics and just started playing a bit of Pachebel.

Breakfast was with some artists who were exhibiting near the DMZ. I love the easy-going camaraderie that Mr. Lee encourages among his visitors. He surprises us in many little ways and the best of all we get a little souvenir to keep. I can't say more. You have to visit to know.

Charming place, charming people. A must stay in Heyri.

Why we travel?

'We travel for romance.

we travel for architecture, and

we travel to be lost'

- Ray Bradbury

And to be found...

Double Happiness (囍)

At the end

It was double happiness I found

Only to realise

It was all around

Ask

You asked

If it was lonely

To travel alone

I asked

What is the name of this

And you broke into a song

You asked

Where am I from

Where do we go
I asked

You asked

in your beautiful tongue

I answered

in ways I knew

Thank you

I am not lonely

I met you

the sadness sings

I think about my hands

"It is a tragedy of the first magnitude that millions of people have ceased to use their hands as hands.

Nature has bestowed upon us this great gift which is our hands. If the craze for machinery methods continues, it is highly likely that a time will come when we shall be so incapacitated and weak that we shall begin to curse ourselves for having forgotten the use of the living machines given to us by God."

- Mahatma Ghandhi

Happy Pepero Day

11.11

Glad to be well stocked with Pepero on Pepero Day.

We ate Nude & Almond flavours today.

I prefer Almond.

Almond is like Marzipan.

Marzipan reminds me of Martin.

Which brings to mind

It's Martin's name day too.

Happy name's day, Martin~!
