Another aspect of the interaction between these two materials, and one which has

been seldom considered in the past, occupies the foreground of attention in the exhibition

entitled “Flickwerk – The Aesthetics of Mended Japanese Ceramics.” The usage of

lacquer to artfully repair damaged or broken ceramics, however, is a specifically Japanese

phenomenon that transcends the effects immanent in the materials and is based on aesthetic ideals which evolved in the culture of tea.

Assaulted by Joy: The Redemption of a Cynic

"We learn how to love in the midst of brokenness and imperfection. Those who hurt us sometimes teach us far more than those who love us. Sometimes they're even the same person. Those we care about have the greatest capacity to hurt us. Love creates the possibility of pain like nothing else."

- Stephen W. Simpson, Assaulted by Joy: The Redemption of a Cynic

One chapter that changed their lives forever...

"...in our turn, in our time." -Jean Valjean

RBI

My former professor sent this today.
(Just in time when I most needed to be reminded of the call-
and the dream to write a storybook in Braille.)

:)

when i see you

:)

Let it Be

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be

There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

connecting the dots...

moment by moment.

:)

in the midst of it all

I was so reminded of the call today.

I wanted to become a world-class chef 

but was called to become a generation builder.

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

i was led to this
to a beautiful season i am yet to completely fathom.
there are things that science and even hard-core psychology cannot explain (and mend).
i just dont want to 'lose sight of the reason for the journey
or miss a chance to see a rainbow along the way.'

bisikleta!

How long has it been?

20 years?

The feeling remains the same.

This non-electronic and hack-free toy has brought a lot of sweet memories

to my childhood years and adventures to share from generation to generation.

Woohooo!!!
