Yen-Yaw and the two release boundary.
So you may have asked yourself at some point or another, what is Yen-Yaw?

Some Good, Some Bad.
I had my piece performed today, “Pathway to the Sun,” by my lovely lady friend, Kate, and a graduate student, Sarah. Wonderful job despite the nerves. Plus, not an easy piece by any means.

I am allowed to have strong views.
Account: I can say I’m wrong too.
That’s the difference between me and most of the opinionated population: this ego is small. I don’t need to be vain to assert myself.
