When we stuck in a situation in our lives, I think there are three most important questions to ask ourselves. One of them is what the difficulty that makes us suffer from the most at the moment is, or simply put it, what 'the problem' is. Usually we think that we know that, but in fact almost always we neglect or ignore it, being overwhelmed by the phenomena caused by the prob..

Natural history museums are always my favorite places to go anywhere I visit. Maybe that is related to not only my fondness for animals but also the dark illumination and the static atmosphere in museums. The natural history museum in the Oulu university was as small and quiet as was the Oulu airport. Actually there was no one but me in the museum, while I was walking around a..

I needed some rest. It was a grateful timing for me to travel now. Snowing sky and a pine grove.. I didn't even feel the need to describe my feelings. Just a right time, a right place .. Thank God.

I quite often use scissors of thoughts or scissors of emotions, when I feel I am overwhelmed by bundles of thoughts and e..

The empty St James Church in St Andrews was the place I loved the most while staying in the town. Still whenever I go to St Andrews, I visit the church. Catholic church is for me a place that I can always turn to when I feel exhausted with pain. I have joined some bible studies and attended some chapels at Protestant churches since I came to Scotland, the land of Presbyterian ..

Yesterday I went to St Andrews. I prayed in the Catholic church as I used to do when I lived there. In the empty church, the sun was silently coming through the stained glass. Someone had lit a candle in front of the St Mary statue. I like the warmth of the lit candles in the church. Yesterday also I could feel the warmth of the candle light. There is another small entrance do..

A deserted place ... is one of the things that I quite often come across in the UK. This is in stark contrast to Seoul, where so many people live, thus there being not many places that are deserted.
