I just returned from a 2 week visit to west/south Japan and was in the country when its disasters occurred. It brought into perspective that although I enjoyed trying different kotos to play and consider to buy, that I really didn't need anything else to achieve happiness or bring happiness to others. A visit to Daisen-in Temple in Kyoto had delightful conversations with the monk and poet Soen Ozeki there....he was pure joy. So instead of sharing anything about harp and challenges, I would like instead to share one of his writings with you.
Each day in life is training
Training for myself
Though failure is possible
Living for each moment
Equal to anything
Ready for anything
I am alive
I am this moment
My future is here and now
For if I cannot endure today
When and where will I?
