Society & Meditation
my recital debut
Men judge generally more by the eye than by the hand, for everyone can see and few can feel. Everyone sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are.
Niccolò Machiavelli
overview
The recital tells the story of growth: it metamorphoses from the purity and innocence in Cinderella, to the awakened answer to life in Peer Gynt, after living through the most adventurous episodes yet arriving at exhaustion and emptiness. We sincerely invite you to take up any valuable chance to practice mindfulness in addition to other daily necessities. On personal, social and historical levels, may we all be at peace when dealing with uncertainty, and readily find ourselves when we get lost.
