Scrolls of Songahm - II

With dawn drawing light across the sky, I, Haeng Ung Lee, invite you, my disciples, students and family, to join me in a journey through our new day. Families need new generations to live: the spirit of Ssu Suhng needs new enthusiasm and growth to be nourished in us.

I am duty-bound by the mantle of mastership to refresh tradition of spirit with knowledge and skills of our new age.
A sage said ages past, nothing new lies under the sun. Even in my bound duty to keep ATA at the peak of this age, it is the technique and tradition of the ages...only the patterns of their weaving are new.

As given by that first master to your seniors, his disciples, I offer this new weave for your futures. Your seniors, too, soon will be with you only in the weave and form created of their spirit for you.

I dream that you learn to enjoy each day without thought to merely relieve yesterday for its comforts. To climb the ladder of life or art, the security and warmth of the first step must give way to find a higher level.

Come, witness with me this affirmation of our art, heritage and renewal.

In the spirit of Ssu Suhng, I bring you "Songahm" to join the east and west, north and south...a new wellspring to mix and join in a voyage to the stars.
