Beneath the Bodhi Tree
“We are not going in circles, we are going upwards.
The path is a spiral; we have already climbed many steps.
I have always believed, and I still believe,
that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way
we can always give it meaning and transform it into something glorious.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha —

Hanging Tree
"The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where one is never lonely, for they feel life stirring on all sides. The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the Living Infinite."
— Jules Verne —

The Rising Sun
My father's family came to the US from Hiroshima in 1905. During WWII, my family was interned in the American concentration camps while their cousins and nieces died at the dawning of the Atomic Age.
I can only hope to live up to their legacy— a barren sea of sand and the burnt shadows in my heart.
History is what you make with it.
"Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."
