ABOUT ME

I'm interested in a lot of different things and seek out new environments and experiences. Recently drove 4 hours to the desert part of Washington state to visit a Karen Burmese family whose children I taught last year. Mom taught me how to weave on a backstrap loom over the summer, but they left in July to become migrant workers. Took mom for a driving lesson in a parking lot, and sat that evening with a huge group of Karen folks as they practiced a new hymn in Karen for services on Sunday. Only know a little Karen, but I'm learning slowly from Na Mu Do and also the Karen students who still attend my school.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Kayaked up to orcas in September. Climbed to a mountain lake to see the stars the week before that.

Worked in October on a performance that involved butoh dance. Speechless during dress rehearsal at the culmination of one of the dance pieces. Remembered that exactly ten years before I was in Japan at a Brazilian beach party. Hadn't realized it had been so long.
