regarding religion, nation, philosophy, psychiatry, compassion and understanding regarding the human condition that never varies. restating the obvious at 61

restating my particular view of life on earth at 61. it best fits the statement of michel de montaigne in his apology to richard seabon

summing up a life working in palliative care

it is best done in a separate Hospice with people, patients, families, doctors, nurses and administrators who do not fear narcotics.
if you are in need of good intelligent compassionate end of life care, then you should go to a hospice and certainly not a hospital or nursing home...ever.

Introduction
Once a year at Jindo Island in Jeollanam-do, the sea mysteriously parts and visitors can walk through the sea from the main island to a smaller nearby island. This phenomenon is due to the difference between high and low tides, creating a 2.8-kilometer-long road measuring 40 meters in width.

The Jindo Miracle Sea Road Festival takes place at the same time as this phenomenon. Visitors can enjoy walking along the sea road, gathering abalone and various other fun activities that make up the festival program. The spectacular sight of the waves parting is widely known and about half a million visitors flock from all over the world just to witness this amazing event.
