Hat Work


Dreams are a very personal thing. They run to the core of who we are. They follow the lead of our world view. Dreams can guide us. Dreams can also scare us away - if we're not ready to run after them.
This Hat work is part of a much larger - still in the dreaming up stage - routine.

Ode to the Typhoon

My wife, Andi, and I were going for a walk yesterday. It was the first walk we've been able to go on for a few days. Japan has been receiving an abundance of rain thanks to several typhoons in the area. Near our apartment is a river and running along that river, up on a high bank, is a walking path. As we made our way up to that path we walked past an elderly Japanese gentleman standing, facing the river, singing. Although I did not know the words to the song, he was clearly inspired by the water.
When was the last time you were so inspired that you couldn't help but sing?
