Mark, the Faithful

“When will you leave for your out-of-town assignment?” I asked my friend Mark. “We want to see you before you go.” “I don’t know,” he said, “But I will tell you as soon as I find out.” I later visited him at his family’s store. “So, any news?” I asked.…

Finding True Ikigai:  A Calling to Japan

One of the most fascinating concepts in Japanese culture is ikigai, often translated as “a reason for being” or the secret to a long and joyful life. It asks four simple but profound questions: What do you love? What are you good at? What does the world need? And what…

Life From Death
