long distance call of love

A Long-Distance Call of Love

A long-distance relationship reminds me of my meditation practice. In the beginning, my partner and I would communicate with each other during random hours.

The Art of Inner Connectedness

One of the most interesting and instructive courses I’ve taken as a graduate student was Arts of Communication.
