I took my human to the beach
We spilled a tray of fried
oysters into the sand
a parent can
choose to not loose their
shit when the coveted
oysters are in the sand
My new iPhone fell into the
ocean this day
gone forever
I remained calm
My child said this was
the best beach day of his life

I walked to the corner and took this picture yesterday
This microscopic town and I are separating
I am moving on to another Japan
I don’t know where
but this extreme rural living is not sustainable
It’s beautiful here
It’s hypnotic
now
Is the time
to break
the trance

What a beautiful kid❤️
My child has self selected friends now!
The American experience has fully embraced him
The Japanese adore him but they never actually embraced him 😢
Not a single birthday party invite in 4 years…..
It’s been beautiful in America.
It’s been the best❤️
Hard but glorious

The view of the mountains from the front yard this morning is worthy of applause.
Everyone in my tiny village here in Japan is so used to it that nobody looks up.
It’s like the cacophony of sound in New York City that the natives are oblivious to

🇯🇵 I just found this eraser. It probably cost ¥80 or so like 60¢ US. In Japan it would be unthinkable to take the lost eraser. I propped it up where someone could find it. The default is returning things/not stealing here. It’s wild. You can loose anything and have it returned 👨🏾🚀

These are two portraits of
John Coltrane
On the left is his
United States Navy enlistment photo
The one on the right
Is the cover of an album
A Love Supreme
An album
that if listened to properly
allows one
to glimpse the face
of God herself
