Nostalgia

I finished writing the last word of Delmora four years ago to this day in, Hamarikyu Gardens, Minato city, Tokyo, Japan.

Its crazy to believe that it was four years ago and even harder to know I still haven’t held it in my hands. Sometimes I wonder if I left the my spirit in Japan this whole time and I’m just trying to find it again. Perhaps I traded it for the months of pure joy and bliss I experienced there. Surely one couldn’t reach the levels of exuberance I experienced without paying a price. Henry Thoreau wrote about being one’s true self and I know what he means. It’s a truly ambitious goals and it requires very powerful levels of introspection. I was alone in Japan and it changed me in ways I still don’t know how to describe. That’s a whole different story though, one I’m not ready to tell. When I do tell it, I have lots of pictures. Maybe when you read Delmora you’ll catch the influence of Japanese culture, especially towards the end.
