2012 was the busiest year of my life. It was so busy that I didn't realize it was New Year's Eve until 8:00pm! I thought I had one extra day to work on the computer. I spent the afternoon raking leaves for compost at the side of back roads with a very cold Mt Fuji looking down on the Momo, Geiger and Hiro and Shuji and I.
The doggies had a fairly dramatic year roaming around in Radiationland Fukushima, being caught and introduced to their new home with me.
This blog has become a part of my life. I am isolated from English speakers here and the readers comments and acknowledgement gives me a tremendous amount of energy with my work. I started the ten-day workshops and they have given me much. I spent so many years in semi-solitude just following my bliss and to see that there are people who are interested on what I have learned astounds me and deeply comforts. Thank you.

i understand isolation so i thank YOU!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture - you are not blurred! Well done for at least a moment of stillness. Happy New Year to you Bryan.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Bryan! I'm looking forward to another year of reading your wonderful blog with fascination and gratitude. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great picture of you and your four footed friends!
ReplyDelete(my teen aged house guest says that you are a hottie and I agree :)
I have enjoyed following your busy 2012 with you and look forward to what your 2013 will be!
All the best, Susan
I find most of your blog entries are calming to me - maybe because I'm half-way around the world. The culture and complex simplicity of your life is interesting. Unfortunately I'll never be able to attend a workshop so the blog entries are my substitute.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy 2013 and may you have continued happiness.
Best to you Gail. Best in everything,

...and a huge thank you, to you. It is more than possible to feel isolated when in a crowd of the non-converted.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Thank you.....'a hottie'...made my year!
ReplyDeletethak you bryan, yours is a point of view i anticipate and relish. and i love how dogs, especially a snoopy, complement your life, too.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year from an English speaker who has forgotten most of the Japanese she learnt! Hope 2013 is just as busy and creative.

ReplyDeleteThank you Joe. Wow, I get called a 'hottie' from Sue and a potential love declaration from Joe. What did I say right in this blog post? I'll have to try it again.
