Questionable Query

Questionable Query, originally uploaded by haechoo.

Where am I? Who am I?
How did I come to be here?
What is this thing called the world?
How did I come into the world?
Why was I not consulted?
And If I am compelled to take part in it,
Where is the director?
I want to see him.

- Soren Kierkegaard

Gentle Beauty

Gentle Beauty, originally uploaded by haechoo.

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.

The Vietnamese Row, originally uploaded by haechoo.

My Tho - Was crossing the sea from My Tho to An Hoa. This Vietnamese lady manually rows a single sampan which holds up to 5 people. A testimony to her strong arms and will and an example of the concept of mind over body.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

Serving with a Smile, originally uploaded by haechoo.

Met this bus driver whilst running around snapping shots during the Canon PhotoMarathon last year. We had a really nice chat, just talking about little things that happened during our day. Unfortunately, the ride was only 5 minutes. Made me realise how isolated bus drivers may feel sometimes - driving on 2 hours shifts with no one to really engage with. A little conversation from us, commuters, really go a long way. ;)

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain.
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

- Emily Dickinson
