Greetings to our cherished community of MiddleNameLove!
As I pause to reflect on the months of February and March, my heart is filled with gratitude for the adventures we've all embarked upon. I hope your journeys have been as rich and enlightening as mine, filled with moments that have taught us and shaped us in profound ways.
I must admit, this letter took a little longer to compose. One reason was the anticipation of unveiling our new website, middlenamelove.com. It's live!!! This moment has required not just patience for you but a journey of self-discovery for me as well. The second reason for my delay was the precious time I dedicated to caring for my loved ones. They are my greatest treasures, more valuable than any work I could accomplish. Loving those around me remains my utmost priority.
These past months have been a whirlwind of experiences. My family endured two car accidents within just five days, a reminder of life's unpredictability. Yet, amidst these challenges, I also found joy in spending time with my long-distance love and exploring the breathtaking beauty of Southern California. Hiking in Yosemite's winter was a true highlight, as was my graduation from a street-fighting Qigong workshop.
In this chapter of my life, I find that I desire very little. Each day is a gift, filled with lessons and blessings. I marvel at the emotional strength I have gained—like a mountain, I stand still and steady, observing the ever-changing weather of life: wind, rain, and sunshine all at once. I now choose to live by faith rather than by sight, a transformation made possible through the wisdom of Master Woo Myun and the meditation of Truth.
Every morning, as I practice Qigong in front of the large bay window of my room, I am greeted by the vibrant life of the backyard garden. It is a sanctuary of nature, where squirrels leap playfully, scattering in all directions, and four crows visit to sip from the bird fountain near the moon gate. In these moments, I feel a profound sense of peace. Even amidst what some might perceive as chaos, I have discovered a new ease in living.
