....huge billowy clouds shoved aside by e impatient wind charging across e morning sky - felt happy (in a relieved sort of way) that there are forces of nature greater than man at work

....three bird nests spotted in e trees along North Buona Vista Road

....excerpts from two poems by Tanikawa Shuntaro 谷川・俊太郎:

But shouldn't we remind ourselves
that we read words
in order to read what are not words?
- from 'A Man in Love'


A book is a beautiful piece of wrapping paper.
It wraps up the world
and gives it to you as an irreplaceable present.

To turn the pages
is to unwrap the parcel,
sometimes violently ripping it.
- from 'Book & Tree'
