Second chances don\u2019t roll around with much regularity. Not as I\u2019ve experienced life.<\/p>\n

When the Hakuin collection<\/a> was displayed in New York, I kept meaning to get down there. And didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in that neck of the woods this Summer you might wish to, as well.<\/p>\n
