Comments: Ethan and I settled at a zen home in a small village near the base of Mt Fuji. It was clear most of the day and we sat outside in the green facing the peaceful landscape. The sun was setting and we observed the colors of the sky shift behind the snowy peak of the sacred mountain. The clouds suddenly came over and covered Fuji and it began to gently rain. Ethan and I fell asleep drinking tea and listening to meditative playlists in the main room with the windows facing the mountain. We could feel her earthly presence even though we could not see her heavenly glow through the mist and fog. In the early morning, I was woken up by a light in my dream. Opened my eyes adjacent to the floor and see through the window the spirit of a giant. Fuji appeared and the sight was sublime. Seconds later, the wind carried the clouds in the sky and she disappeared again in an instant. Tagawa & Fukasawa visited us at our home. We served our guests tea and sat together speaking two very different languages. Talking about family, relationships, and how to love. The heavy rain had stopped so we walked outside facing Mt Fuji behind her cloudy veil. Tagawa & Fukasawa walked passed me, lovingly held hands, and joyfully stood where the giant sleeps in the sky.
