The border of the island is not a restriction to islanders. Instead, the nations of the ocean develop their unique ways to weather the storms. During the 7-day traineeship, I originally saw myself as a mere tourist, but now I am more than a traveler with insightful takeaways. I completely stretched my entire body, reaching my arms up as high as they could go toward the sky. A gentle breeze blowing, the rain pattering softly like ambient background music. Not until the singing bowl was struck did I drift back to reality and open my eyes. What a miraculous practice! After surviving an exhausting semester, I slowed down my pace, let go of the rat race, reconnected the fragmented mind and body, and finally found myself and the meaning of being here. As a human, I was born to be free, not a slave of fame and fortune.
