for all your heartfelt contribution, musically and sympathetically.

So far, the recent (as of 3 months ago) remedy of the adverse event (almost 2 years ago) is still stable. I feel confident that it will remain so, and hope that my confidence is rewarded into the future.

I know its not for everyone, so it's gratifying to learn you like it. Ironically, South Koreans tend not to be so doctrinaire in their religious views, many are eclectic, and don't see any contradiction in enjoying more than one tradition. Religion has an important social and therapeutic function, more so than metaphysical doctrinal emphasis. That's an impression I received over the years, although I know there are fanatic true believers everywhere. It's almost a secular or social perspective on religion that serves ritual needs as well. I understand that at a recent public memorial service for the Itaewon crush incident in which 159 people were killed, Heavenly flower was performed.

This second flood experience is similar to last time, a disruptive chaotic situation, complicated by people who try to take advantage while we are down. We are trying not to get too upset about it. What else can we do? I know you know something about this, having had some serious adverse event at your home in the not so distant past. Thanks for your encouragement.
