Write down what comes to your mind and follow it. Give it enough time until you feel confident about your thinking. I intend to write when my mind is murky and restless because writing helps me organize my thoughts and calm my emotions. It is one way I deal with my busy mind, often infused with stress and anxiety. Some people refer to me as a "writing machine." The secret is in my writing habit. I write something just like eating something. I write it on my blog whenever I feel like doing so. Writing is never complete once and for all. I continue to write in my mind and my daily life. Writing provides me with "joie de vivre."

Virginia Beach, June 2025



See what you can see and hear things like you have never heard before. And close your eyes and feel the rhythmic pulse of waves and the ocean’s potency.


Yorktown, Virginia (6/12/2025)

I had a great day of rest, reflection, and renewal at the beach in Yorktown, Virginia. Everything I saw there was calm, distinct, and revealing. Humans are sometimes too busy with nonessential activities that are detrimental to our bodies, others, and nature. Seagulls, birds, flowers, sea waves, sand, pebbles, seashells, and everything else remain peaceful, knowing their place and enjoying their existence. Why are we not like that?

 

 


"The more you know, the more you know you don't know. The truth is, we humans are not capable of knowing everything. So, what we need is humility and open-mindedness as much as confidence."
(Yung Suk Kim)
