JUST GO!

   I've been back in Seoul for the past month. I haven't engaged in sightseeing the way I did when I first arrived last year in July. I came this time hoping to learn more about the music scene and to see if I might find a place in it. This time I've been looking for gigs - places where I might be able to share my own songs with an interested audience. At some point I would like to study more about Korean traditional music and  instruments but for now I am exploring my own path.    In modern day Seoul there is a wealth of venues where artists can put themselves on display. Musicians can be found performing their own original music, as well as the songs and music of well-known artists in all styles and genres, in clubs, restaurants, bookstores and outside in the designated busking areas.

I recently met such a person; someone with whom, we both agreed, we have apparently shared other lifetimes. The meeting again of our souls seems to be the reason or the "force" that I felt was pulling me to S

   According to many spiritual teachers, all human beings are, in reality, spiritual beings on a human journey.   We reincarnate as human beings in order to evolve as souls.

Something was pulling me there. A feeling, an energy, a force.... pulling me only to South Korea. I had no desire really to visit anywhere else in the region. Just South Korea. Why?     I arrived on July 13th at Incheon Airport in Seoul . I had just spent almost four months in Israel with family. It was a long flight even from Israel but I was prepared. I had done a lot of research. I knew what I had to do upon arrival. I took my ti
