Fujisan

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2005.07.27

I never really realized how hazy it is, here, until this morning. The typhoon that passed through seems to have scrubbed the air because I can now see a mountain range that is only maybe 10-15 kilometres away that I simply never guessed was there! And beyond that is the towering spectacle of Fujisan. What an enourmous mountain... My window looks out right at it, and I had no inkling that it was there.

Be an opener of doors for such as come after thee, and do not try to make the universe a blind alley.
