Taiwan

March 18, 2009

A few years ago I traveled to Taiwan. I was working towards an undergraduate degree in Religious Studies, and found a free summer program in Taiwan aimed at learning about Buddhism. Never having traveled to Asia before, it was a bit of culture shock. Definitely worth the experience– and it made for some great stories, anyways.

Things in Trees

March 8, 2009

This photo was taken in Jerusalem, in December. I love all the fruit trees in Israel, especially pomegranate trees. I had never been in the winter before, however, and it was kind of surprising to see plant life out of bloom. It’s still so beautiful, though, and the power of symbols is incredible.

And this photo was taken in Rhode Island, during a bright winter day that I thought was like spring in disguise. All the robins were out.
