tappin' and swingin' downtown daegu
two weekends ago i went downtown daegu to jiyoung's tap dance performance. there she is, above, front row center! it was such a riot! the range of skill amongst the dancers varied greatly, but jiyoung's group was on fire. so were the swing dancers!
2007-2008: ...and so, for her thirtieth year, she is embarking upon a pilgrimage abroad...teaching english at a university in south korea, making her way to ancient buddhist temples nestled high in the mountains where monks and nuns rise early to chant and pray, relying on the kindness of strangers and a lightness of heart, and meeting challenges and fears along the way that she is ever-so-ready to befriend.
2008-2009: ...and now, for a second year, she is returning to korea....to her high rise sanctuary and an abundance of red pepper paste...to a vibrant, growing community of friends, students and colleagues...to not a day going by without some measure of surprise and unexpected kindness.
herein lies her journey...
