Or should I say はじめまして。
My name is Bi...Hello Kai, <br /><br />Or should I say はじめまして。<br />My name is Bianca. Born in Romania, now in my 3rd year in Japan.<br />I was thinking to enroll in the GPSS program and was trying to get in touch with some students to talk about life on campus, when I found your blog.<br />It's very impressive, let me tell you.<br />But I could also feel how you fight with <br />depression in Tokyo.<br /><br />And you know, I really think you need a friend. One to whom you can just purge to. One who can listen and understand and bare that weight with you.<br />I live at the tail of Tokyo, Kai, and I know it's hard to trust a stranger,<br />so I invite you to contact me on bianca_ghitescu@yahoo.com .<br />When you really feel you could just break to pieces, I could be there with you, for you, no strings attatched.<br />Molkishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056978772021439276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140376099467331532.post-27951244046544780462013-09-28T23:51:59.967-07:002013-09-28T23:51:59.967-07:00Sure, Kai.
To mindfulness and staying seriously ...Sure, Kai. <br /><br />To mindfulness <em>and</em> staying seriously excited. Watch out for a Transition Town in <a href="http://www.utsukushii-mura.jp/ogawa-photo/" rel="nofollow">Ogawa, Nagano</a>, 210 kilometers from the heart of Tokyo. I recently found (and am purchasing <em>right now</em>) <a href="http://kenelwood.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/ogawaplace.jpg" rel="nofollow">a 150 year old kominka on 2 acres of land [tanbo, hatake, forest]</a> there, whereby I plan to sow the seed that is TT, host blitzes and wayfarers of Freethought [from one-offs to permanent]. <br /><br />As you well know Japan has a middle class that are hobbyists, practicing difficult skills that are not yet necessary for society, like veranda gardening and DIY, and a lower class that is content to work for lower end wages and consume entertainment. Eventually everyone will overlap, and the sort of permaculture envisioned by so many today, will have to happen in one way or another. <br /><br />I get the feeling many people are in tune with what you are saying, even if their actions don't reflect it yet. These things take time. Much, much time. <br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />ken<br />adams guild™, Japan Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140376099467331532.post-81223528052341776882013-09-28T18:23:00.420-07:002013-09-28T18:23:00.420-07:00Thanks ken!Thanks ken!Kai 海https://www.blogger.com/profile/08366070436633547721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140376099467331532.post-82712883831680594332013-09-28T03:25:28.632-07:002013-09-28T03:25:28.632-07:00Hi Kai, excellent talk at TedX. Thank you. The par...Hi Kai, excellent talk at TedX. Thank you. The part where you intentionally stalled in between lines was my favorite, more engaging - I thought - than the bell or your examples of slowing down, for in that instant you revealed the listeners' angst. <br /><br />On the depression front, just remember that when we talk to old folk who’ve lived the hard life and used hand-tools and horses to farm, we not only get taught about how hard the manual labor was, but that the most critical part of that system was to not run out of human will, to be psychologically sustainable. <br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />ken<br />adams guild™, Japan Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
