About Me

CURRENT MISSION

FACILITATE worldpeace / ATTAIN spiritualenlightenment / INVENT endlesspartyfunmachine

this life is both short and long, described by my sunmudo master as the length of one inhalation and one exhalation. thus, it is both meaningless and profoundly precious. do no harm, walk softly, spring rains come... as Kakuzo Okakura so delicately put it: "a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life."

Interests

music, books, movies, hiking, cycling, travelling, sunmudo (Korean zen martial art), meditation, going out, meeting people
