About Happitory

The most magnificent poem hasn't been written yet
The most magnificent poem hasn't been written yet
The most beautiful song hasn't been sung yet
The most glorious day hasn't been lived yet
The most immense sea hasn't been pioneered yet
The most prolonged travel hasn't been done yet.
The immortal dance hasn't been performed yet
The most shine star hasn't been discovered yet.
When we don't know any more what we are supposed to do
It's the time when we can do true something
When we don’t know any more where we are supposed to go
It’s the start when the true travel has just begun.


- Nazim Hikmeta (A poem written in prison)




Happitory seeks the way of happiness through introspection and contribution.

We runs a introspection program where we stop and look back on ourself, and work with excluded people and poor neighbors.

Introspection

Face oneself in a small room of 54 square feet.
Come out of prison in me.

In a small room
the length of time that faces me
it rest me, it comfort me
time to look into my shame
renew myself
benefit the world

Support

If you could stop for a while
If you can look at it
If you could share it with others
happiness is not far away.

Looking back on me and realizing me
To look back at one's neighbors and share what one has
we'd like to do with you.
