CURRENT MISSION

To wake up to what is here.

ABOUT ME

One half of a quiet British / Japanese couple living in rural Japan. I like a quiet life: a bit of gardening, a bit of cooking, a bit of meditation and some travel from time to time. My partner works locally for a vegetarian / organic food import company, so my cooking tends to be vegetarian.

PHILOSOPHY

Walk quietly across the world greeting that of God in everyone, George Fox.

Música, películas y libros

I learned to read through the SF novels of Andre Norton and so have a soft spot for SF and Fantasy. However, other authors I have liked range from Irish Murdoch to Banana Yoshimoto. I wrote the thesis for my religious studies degree on the interaction between the supernatural and families in Banana Yoshimoto's novels and short stories. Not much fiction right now as I have to get through the reading list for my Buddhism course.

For light relief (aka brain candy) I love NCIS - a bit of humour goes a long way.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Climbed Mount Fuji at dawn - snow in July was a surprise but the cloudless morning a joy.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I would love to be able to show a few people some of the best of Japan - the quieter traditional side away from the plastic fantastic world of Tokyo.
