My friend in Japan.

I never had a friend in Japan before until I met Yasunori. We met last year at the treating Yourself EXPO. He spoke very little English BUT I did get that they were from a small village in the "belly button of Japan". His friend makes the most amazing hand carved bongs. BEAUTY The hours that go into them the fact they are doing what they love and it brings them peace. They made me smile every time I saw them. I learned Yasunori loves cartoons and does acupuncture, natural medicine and very concerned about the Earth. We exchanged e mail address and we have attempted 2 e mail. He is fine but very sad about what is happening, the loss of land for growing vegetqbles. He thinks, like many of us this is the start of a serious problem. He is sad by what happened because he loves this place we call home and Loves that Amazing plant too, by the way ;-) 
When are we going to get it? Hows that oil spill coming? WE can NOT forget We MUST learn, and we MUST try to make this place a better place. it's that simple ;-)    
Anyhow who knew I'd have a friend in Japan. I am so happy my friend is still alive. We will probably never meet again. I have good friends I've never met. Chuck, Sam, Beth, ones I only met for a very short time... Josh, Mona, Cindy. ALL over. We have to work together. 
PEACE  World peace.. really .. BUT first PEACE of Mind. PEACE with each other.  Im going to try really hard from this moment onnot to get pissed off at any of you! ;-) 

P.S. my next post will be a "Doing Dishes". These ones seem to appear when I am at my lowest. So DON'T read if you think it might make you sad.. Doing Dishes....
