Boundaries

Life lessons I teach to myself.

Twenty-Nine

Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes. I am so touched and grateful. 皆さま、お誕生日のお祝いをありがとうございました。感動と感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。

To Be A Human Being, Not A Human Doing

The changing of the season, wintering is upon us. The natural slowdown of life, to know the moment before it is too late.

A Hair Story

On April 1st I shaved my head. The next question I get is, why? Here is my answer to that. Keep on keeping on my friends, these are crazy times we are all in together. Hopefully the sight of my naked noggin’ might give you a little laugh.

Roadkill

Say a prayer for every animal finding their resting place on a concrete grave. Constant casualties of a faster age.

Mountain Road

Poem conspired in a forest, the only place that makes sense.

Quarantine

Hello world. Here in Japan we’ve had the reality of the coronavirus for months now. Life goes on. Hang in there.

Push My Buttons

Self-reflection on self-love. Who am I?

Thanksgiving

Spending Thanksgiving away from Canada brings a whole new meaning to the holiday. When you realize that giving thanks is not about the traditions you have but the traditions you make.

Ghosts

The ghosts in Japan are many, their spirits trail you when you least expect it. Their songs tickle your ears, just when you think you are alone.
