About

Hello, I’m Sanga, a musing bird briefly passing by a very old world.

This brief voyage is a fleeting moment in the greater flow of time, but to me it is my entire lifetime and my whole world. So I muse to understand how to live it.

Here I share stuff on Arts, Meditations and Books, hoping they might be a little companion to you as you pass by too.

Each day, a small bird sings to greet my father’s home in Ivory Coast; 
my father answers with grains of rice.
This friendship is my inspiration for this website’s name.

History of A Musing Bird

  • September 2, 2022 – Began a book blog on Naver Blog (platform-hosted).
  • December 6, 2025 – Developed the first self-coded website, A Musing Bird, locally (browser-viewable), then uploaded it to GitHub.
  • January 20, 2026 – Opened an X account.
  • February 21, 2026 – Opened an Instagram Account.
  • April 1, 2026 – Launched the fully self-coded live website Amusing Bird at amusingbird.com.

Note: Some posts on this website were migrated from my former blogs; that’s why, even though this site is launched in 2026, some posts date earlier.
