I chanted with nuns in the Unmunsa Temple of South Korea. The group of student scholars I traveled with are the only ones allowed to stay overnight at this temple and participate in the morning chanting and breakfast ritual.

I'll teach: Writing, journalism. I'd like to learn: Cooking, playing an instrument, surfing. I'll share: A laugh, a drink, a book I just read, a piece of jewelry I may be wearing.

I'm always up for new things. Some favorites: Listening to the radio while driving on a long road on a summer night with the windows rolled down people-watching any body of water new school/office supplies stunning eyes, wit, conversation
