your heart knows the way
A second chance. Starting over. A new beginning. These are our choices to make. At any stage of life, there is the potential to become something different. Something new. To become someone new.

seeking the silence
For most of my life I've listened to music as a backdrop to life. Many people do. I wrote briefly on IG about this in earlier post on SoulTree Stories. It was about listening to music, especially Park Hyo Shin all day, every day. His voice has a special quality that is mesmerising. No, that's… Continue reading seeking the silence
