Oh Japan, our thoughts are with you and your people.

1. I'm currently reading 'Tales of the Otori'

I'm on book # 3, My 14 year old son recommended it.

I haven't picked it up in 5 or so days.

I should have finished the series 3-4 days ago.

4. A beautiful post, thank you. This whole thing is just heartbreaking.

So much devastation. So much cruel loss: family members, holding hands to try to stay together, literally torn away from each other as the wave hit them. A nuclear disaster. My husband and I love the beauty of Japanese culture -- its art, its music, its gorgeous architecture, its religious traditions (Shinto shrines), and this whole thing is just horrible. Thank you for the lovely images that celebrate this culture.

6. Japan's art & gardens are a gift to all of us.

8. Japan is also in my thoughts, I must apologize for my dimwitted

country persons. I'm sure you have a few in your country also. Pay no attention to them.
