The Joy of a Café
Most of my days involve a visit to a café of some sort – and when I say of some sort, I generally mean Starbucks… 🤣 Life in Tokyo is spent mostly out of the house. There are a few reasons for this. The top being the size of ‘home’ and the distance of ‘home’…

This Life
We move in circles-Around the sun-Around each other-Around ourselves We walk in winding paths-Towards our fate-Towards that pot of gold-Towards the grave We rush through life-searching for success-searching for love-searching for ourselves We talk-in circles-in winding paths-in a rushing of life Yet we end up where we started, lost on our paths, talking about nothing…

Returning
A new sense of normal is finding its way back to my life. I am walking outside again. I am listening to music again. I am writing again. I am smiling more. I am finding happy places. I am hopeful and excited again. How long has it been since I felt this way? What was…

De-Press-Ants-Anti
