Things are Coming Along
I spent the morning helping some friends rebuild their garden that had been covered in a layer of icing like mud after the liquefaction in Shin Urayasu. The day was a gorgeous spring day. The sun was shining brightly yet the air was crisp and just a tad cool. It felt good to both help out and just to be out in the sun.
Sometimes I really miss having a yard with trees, plants, and a garden like I had growing up in Miami. Here in Tokyo and it’s suburbs there is little space for gardening. Homeowners get very creative with their use of space, and create elaborate gardens in the most minuscule of areas.
As I wandered a bit around the Shin Urayasu neighborhood, I did notice that it was a lot less dusty than two weeks ago. More of the silt has been removed, along with a few days of some heavy downpours have helped to clear the air.
People are out and about taking care of their homes and all in all after six weeks things are coming along nicely.
The spring colors keep pushing me forward. I am compelled to show all the colors that the world has to offer. The bright spots that standout on a sunny day like yesterday. With all the worries of the world, I can loose myself within the simple beauty of color.
