Forgiveness

A man was on a train sitting next to a young man in his twenties. The young man seemed stressed and was constantly looking out the window.

After about an hour the old man ask the young man "where are you going?". The young man answered that he is going to Janesville. After a little pause, the young man told the older man that he is going back home after not seeing his dad for 5 years. "I did something really bad and knowing that my dad will be very angry at me, I left without saying goodbye."

The old man ask if the dad knew his son is coming back. The young man said "I sent him a letter few weeks ago telling him I'm coming back today. I told him to put a white rag on the big maple tree in the field before the train station if he wants me to come back home. If there is no flag, I will know he did not forgive me and I will keep on going."

When they got close to Janesville the young man asked the older man if he can spot the maple tree as he is too nervous. The older man agreed and exchange seats with the young man. Looking for the tree, he was astound not see any tree in the field. He told the young man "I think your dad forgives you. The tree is covered with rags.

Lions in the house

This last Friday was the first time I enjoyed the lion dance. I think I'm getting used to it and although my back is hurting, I'm enjoying it. 

I think that I can see the purpose of the lion dance training and knowing how great it could be having 8 lions dancing around... 

Blogging

Hoping to get back to the kwoon after being out for 3 weeks. After 2 weeks vacation and one week away for work, one of the things that keep me engaged and connected are the blogs. Unfortunately there are not too many of these. Most of the team is not blogging on a regular basis.

I want to encourage everyone to use this on a regular basis and share what is happening in your training and in general.
