A view to rest within

Across the landscape

down in the valley

among the trees

along side the river

I lay my body down

to rest...

Coffee, and a strong breeze...

Coffee, typhoon winds... a nice morning today.

Have you ever sat and just wondered? Really wondered about life and what it means? That is such a difficult question that nobody ever really has the answer and when someone claims to, people regard them as crazy. Maybe they aren't so crazy after all? What is life for you? You can just ask yourself and if you come up with a valid answer for yourself... great!

The wind today is very strong. It sends in the sweet scents from outside. Oh, you know the scents of which I speak. (neighbors' cooking, occasional fumes from cars below, the garbage that is building up in the waterways...) But that's all good. That's all part of life in the city here in Japan. So, don't get all huffy and puffy about it. It's everywhere that people congregate in large numbers. We need each other because we are social creatures, us humans. So, it's gonna smell bad at times. It's not like livin' in the woods where the sweet pine wafts across our bodies as we lay amongst the ivy. Uh oh! I think that was poison ivy.
