Souvenir from Korea NFS
slab of stone with pen
Dale Copeland
| In 2015 (and again in 2018) I travelled with a Taekwon-Do group to South Korea, visiting the sites where the history of Taekwon-Do was formed. We performed the pattern Moon-Moo on the beach looking out at the island where Moon-Moo's body was buried, to "forever guard his land from foreign invasion". I walked along the beach and found this stone. I've been hand-polishing it, wondering how best to keep and display it. There were souvenir pens from a Chang-Hon seminar in 2022, so I made the penholder with my stone. It pleases me. |
