About Me

i've never really considered myself a writer. sure, i've been jotting down thoughts and ideas since i can remember but never put it on display. my first passion is painting...that i do put on display and wait for the critics to remark. one such critic read a poem of mine and told me i should consider being a writer instead of a painter. good thing i didn't listen to that "advice" wholeheartedly. but it has stuck in the back of my mind so with a little prodding from a dear friend i will now display what my brain gives me in the form of words...

The Vow of Humankind


Calm and composed,
awakening to our true Self,
being fully compassionate humans,
making full use of our abilities,
according to our respective vocations,
discerning suffering both individual and social,
and its sources.
Recognizing the right direction
in which history should proceed,
joining hands as kin beyond the differences
of race, nation, and class.
With compassion, wowing to bring to realization
humankind's deep desire for emancipation,
let us construct a world that is true and happy.

The Vow of Humankind was formulated by Hisamatsu, together with his disciples, and proclaimed publicly in 1951.
