Gentleness is so important. Gentleness of the heart. Gentleness of the spirit. Gentleness in one’s aura. Gentleness in one’s own motivations and actions. Gentleness that is both embodied and practiced.

I met Woojoo in June in Seoul, the capital of South Korea.

During most of the weekends, thousands of South-Korean women visit the beautiful gardens of the Gyeongbok Palace wearing colourful traditional dresses called hanboks, like their ancestors used to.

Looking around you could feel in another era, but the last generation smart phones, which are taking selfies all around, will remind you that you’re in one of the most modern places on earth. Still, it’s magical to see this bridge between past and present, in this atemporal garden, proving that progress and modernity can go hand in hand with traditions.
