He continues to dive deeply in building his craft as a teacher and Gong Fu practitioner while provoking his interests in artistic fields.

If not even this leg is like my other leg,

But different.

With hidden sensations, tensions and abilities. How could I ever know about another ones arm? I have know every thing until some thing new was shown.

Accepting Never knowing.
