This is a compelling blend of personal narrative and history. The parallel between Korea’s guarded past and the quiet ways we absorb influence today is especially striking. It raises an uncomfortable but important question, how much of what we’ve become was consciously chosen, and how much simply slipped in unnoticed?
One of your best. I'll still be following you when you return to Korea :-) If I were you, I'd do it!
That means a lot to me!!!! Your words leave prints.
Thank you. "Your words leave prints" will be the first quote I put on my new journal (commonplace book) before I begin writing in it.
I was inspired to decorate a plain journal by one of the women who posted on "Noted" by Jillian Hess: https://substack.com/home/post/p-194065686
Lots of wonderful quotes and images from people all over the world.
Wow!!
