I was walking by the wayside Casting wishes in the wind Fading foosteps long the sea side As the tides come rushing in. Thrust away the burdens and sorrows, Leave the heartache to tomorrow Take a breath and sooth heart’s furrows Tracing patterns in the sands. Remembering the sands of Jeju whole still in lockdown – hoping to return soon! Continue reading Casting Wishes in the Sands
Today we’re fondly remembering Jeju Island in all of its glory! We were hoping to be able to return next month since Americans can still visit S. Korea visa-free for 90days.
