beautiful fog

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Kokubunji, 2025.03.12

On my way to the office this morning, there was a light fog hanging over everything. I really regretted not having my camera. As I rounded a corner from the broad new road (that is splitting our neighborhood in half) onto another, I came across a fellow smoking in front of the parking lot of a 7-11. The smoke was circling before him, everything backlit by a sun just barely up. Awesome.

I got home fourteen hours later in darkness.

In one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnation without government permission.
