Something about life
Just the right amount…
Of daylight, waking at 5:20 to see the sun.
Of discomfort, to ride five hours on a local train reading Catcher in the Rye while watching suburban Japan peel off.
Of friendship, a balance of Miho’s zeal and hurrying to a certain place while I wait, and listen, to take a roll of photographs at the end.
Of alcohol, to be together enough to tell Dad when we’re done but gone enough to explain passionately how I feel about life and be well-received.
Of family, to do whatever I can to help Mom with the dishes and talk to Dad’s protege’ while bitching about Yakult and our perennial disappointment.
Of life, my body aches in numerous places for a myriad of reasons, but today was so fulfilling it nearly made me cry.
