twenty-eight years and a million words

Kokubunji, 2023.07.22

I know it's not the last time I'll travel by plane this year, but I am glad to be done with it for now. A vein in my right knee has given up the fight after all this sitting, and I really struggled to stay seated for the bus trip back to our place.

It's much hotter and more humid here, but Mari tells me this is as cool as it's been since I left. It's good to be back, but I haven't missed the slightly nauseated feeling from the weather.

When the world is in accord with the Dao, fast horses are left to fertilize fields. When the world is not in accord with the Dao, war horses are bred in the countryside.
