Hi,
Yeah it's been awhile again. I have to say..planning a trip like this is detrimental to free time. As if I've had much of that recently anyway. I joked with someone recently that it's almost like I'm dying or something..the way all the loose ends need to be tied. and in a metaphoric sense I suppose it is indeed a death of a sort. I have never been to Japan. Yet I dreamt of it nightly when I was younger ( not so much these days) these vague impressionistic dreams. Not at all kids dreams, just a series of imagery, not so much a story line. So that part of me that waits in the land between will meet the part of me that embraces tomorrow after a very long flight. I have no expectations, rather I have no idea what the meeting will be like. I have studied Japan for a number of years, but I confess I am still ignorant withall. I will be taking a lot of pictures while I am there and I hope to post the best ones here. I will also be riding my bike, and soliciting some galleries while I am there...oh and climbing Mt Fuji!. Yeah..it's going to be Fun! I am sorry if anyone felt slighted by my absence. It was not intentional, and in fact I had a hard time staying away. I truly love all of my friends on this site, and it sucks that I cant visit more often now that I am finally in a happy spot..unfortunately..needs must be met. There is work to do..and tons of it. But well, after my resurrection in September, we'll see what kind of coalesence takes place in my being. I sense a change in the air. I feel myself shifting again, so I know change is inevitable. I welcome it. I have been in this current region of development for several years, but I see it as coming to a close. This is the beginning of the next step. Wish me luck! I'll see you all in September! Love ya!
