Taiwan Regional Message Board
Loading...I loved that quote the moment I first read it,
Liko-san, and it fully resonated with me. ☺️ I and Taiwan is the most fortunate to have you here. ☺️
With the help of my Sista
Xiao Meimei, we refounded Taiwan just over eight years ago. ☺️
I thought it would be like as it was before refounding, quiet and semi-active with me,
Xiao Meimei, and an handful of silent others. ☺️
Instead, Taiwan has
Kuan Shi Yin-san, you,
Liko-san,
Kimonoko-san,
Xiao Mei Ying-san,
Keep Your Eyes Open-san,
Xiao Meimei-san and others. ☺️
A vibrant and kind community who make Taiwan what it is. ☺️
Yes, we are going to keep it Green, and we will spread the Love 🫶💚 ☺️
And as dear KSY-san said, Taiwan is, and always will be, a Safe place. ☺️
”Another world is not only possible, she is on her way.
On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”
- Arundhati Roy
I can still hear her breathing too. I hear her breathing through you all. ☺️
And Taiwan and I feel protected and safe. ☺️
I’ve mentioned this before, and I think it’s true. ☺️
Guarded and loved. ☺️
And that feels empowering to someone like me who doesn’t always have good thoughts about themselves. ☺️
I truly love you in the Metta tradition, in appreciation and respect of you all. ☺️
Thank you. ☺️

I cannot add any words to the above message that would make it anymore wonderful.
I’m sorry I am not active these days, but I am so grateful to be part of our little community.
Kuan Yin, Kuan Shi Yin, and Liko

I’m sorry I am not active these days, but I am so grateful to be part of our little community.
You be as inactive as you need to be,
Kimonoko-san, and as active as you want to be. ☺️
Nobody’s judging, none of us bear gavels. ☺️
As long you’re good. ☺️
And being WA Delegate wasn’t so bad, was it? ☺️
With love from
Kuan Shi Yin. ___________________/\___________________

Kuan Shi Yin, Liko, and Kimonoko
Stay safe and well,
Liko-san! ☺️
For those not understanding what
Liko is referring to, it’s slightly stormy where they are at the moment. ☺️

Naturally this is a national holiday in
Kimonoko. We follow the traditional lunisolar calendar.
🌙 🌙 🌙
Cool! We’re Observing Ganesh Chathurti with incense, and then 14 days later, Navaratri. ☺️
