I appreciate your kind comments and I was also impressed by your artistic abilities! My son is obviously on the a similar journey as yourself and having already sampled the simple life in India and as a teacher in Korea is now having his spirits aroused by music and dance as a songwriter and publisher who is on a different but unique adventure in China !
