Wind Shift in Obama Foreign Policy

I predict disengagement of US foreign policy emphasis from Europe and Near East and shifting of its direction to the Pacific Rim, including the Latin America. This will lead to economic resurgence of the US. The choice of next Secretary of State is critical. It is probable that John Huntsman may be taken into serious consideration.   Such bi-partisan foreign policy strengthens the US credibility in dealing with third world issues.


It is quite significant that President Obama's first post-election state visit is to Burma which is not only an Asian, but also a Buddhist, nation.

He Went To His Own Funeral

he woke up
dressed
brushed his teeth
drank a cup of coffee
and went to the church
it was his own funeral
I never saw him since
they must have buried him

Moral Principle and Political Direction of Olympic Taekwondo

It has been the guiding moral dictum of Olympic Taekwondo that small nations be given fair and just opportunity to compete and win Olympic medals. London Olympics has fulfilled this mission. Great Britain is great in this sense. The sharp contrast to Beijin Olympics is starkly evident. Taekwondo athletes from Gabon, Serbia, Afghanistan, etc. are to be recognized and commended.

Frog Mantra

A Miracle

when a dog runs backwards
it is god
when a dog smiles
it is a miracle

when a dog runs backwards smiling
you'd better start praying
or stop drinking

On The Winter Beach

On The Winter Beach

I walk on the winter beach
from here to there
and beyond where the beach ends
past indifferent sea gulls
over beached kelps
over bleached sea shells
to the sound of crushing waves
to the call of ebbing memories
I walk on the winter beach
I shall go
I must go
alone
beyond where the beach ends
