On Hiatus


A Monk Amok will be on hiatus most likely until at least March.  I have three sets of exams coming up (at school and for my transfer into the Jogye order) that have me way too busy for this right now.  Please check out the other blogs I have listed at right under "Blogger Buddies." ...>

Well, I hope you've had a wonderful day and week, and that the rest of the year ends full of joy and happiness. Oh, and have a Happy New Year also. I might post before then, but maybe just once. It is definitely time to work on O-Soji and this time around there's plenty to organize, and many decks t ...>

I posted this over at Exposure-Latitudes (my blog about photography), and thought I'd also post it here. Brief variations on a theme. Xmas to Post-Xmas in four days. Click on the image(s) to get a larger version.    ...>

The about pages, linked from the About section in the Navigation bar above, were not working properly so I have rerouted the links to regular post entries. I'll fix them soon. Oh, and if you have a chance, visit my other blog Exposure Latitude(s), and let me know what you think:    It pi ...>

Re-Post: Walking the Holy Land, Thoreau & Sauntering

  • January 1, 1970

As I sit here and contemplate my ongoing O-Soji (mental and otherwise), I thought I'd repost an entry from three years ago, one that I find always speaks deeply to me. As I was engaged in my end of year clearing of the decks (O-Soji), this piece popped into my head. Not because it is so wonderful, b ...>

Thought I'd share, and archive, this wonderful blog find: Becoming Awake.

Thought for the Day

A quick thought for the day, from a line in a song, "Anyone Else But You," originally performed by The Moldy Peaches, and recently adapted for the Juno soundtrack (where it is performed by Michael Cera and Ellen Page):"I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train."If that doesn't make you stop a ...>

From The Cobra King of Kathmandu, in the Children of the Lamp series by P. B. Kerr: "Never make a wishbone where your backbone ought to be." Cool eh? Be well. ...>

Liar, Liar, Shanthap on fire


I said I wasn't going to post again until March, but here I am posting again.  I'm heading to Nepal this coming Sunday for who knows how long.  I finally realized, or rather admitted to myself, that coming to Korea was a mistake.  Trying to make it work here when I found I really wanted to be ba ...>
