Life in Bow Valley so far.

I don't think I have ever been on Social media for practical reasons in my life before I moved here to the Bow Valley. I have always been one of the farthest individuals by choice from all these social media because they don't seem real to me and overwhelm me in enormously confusing ways. Although …

Tiny House

I have been seriously interested in buying or building a tiny house of my own for about a couple years now. Considering that I have been living like a gypsy around here and there since 2009, I have been always searching where to move next because I never owned any place of my own. I …

Life in Bow Valley

So, I've been back to Bow Valley for 5 months and 3 weeks now. How is life here in the Bow Valley? Is it much different as I expected? Is it a paradise as it is described by many (some) people? Not really. My impression of Bow Valley so far seems to be very different …

Life in Canmore

It has been 5 weeks since I moved into Canmore. It was quite cold (below -30 or less) until now. The past week has been a pure blessing here as we were able to walk outside, enjoying the warm spring-like weather. I work in Banff and live in Canmore. I am yet car-less but am …

Life that is coming toward me

I have something to confess. Or maybe more than just something. To be completely honest here, I have multiple things going on in my current life.

Temple Stay

This has been on my mind off and on for quite a while. This Sept, I was in Korea visiting my parents and other family members for a month. I was expecting crispy autumn but it was still hot when I arrived in Korea in the beginning of Sept. I became certain then that the …

Been 6 weeks

It has been 6 weeks and 3 days since I came back to normal life. When I say 'normal life', I mean getting a place where I keep all my stuff AND live for a while, having a job that I do not particularly like but setting up the alarm to wake up in the …

Meditation without being involved in any forms of religions

This is it. I've been meditating either on my own and/or occasionally with a small, I mean not in a big temple nor a big city hall sized centre-like place, group of people for a few years. I am not claiming that I know better than anyone else about how to meditate or how to …

Down the road and..

Hello the world, I have been in a situation that I no longer know what's what for a year. I will never forget 2018 summer in my life. Thankfully or not, the summer is fading away slowly.  It is technically Fall now.. but I feel as though summer is still lingering around me, giving me …

What does Getting old mean to you?

I just got a news from my friend that his dad had a stroke last night and he got a call from a nurse from the hospital to come over.... The moment I read this text, I instantly lost my will to think of anything. I felt like I should talk to him immediately to …
