Celebration Day — twenty-five
Crying is truth
Unexplainable
True
Just entered a room where Japanese are speaking
Something draws me to all things Japan
For years
I listen — tones, laughs, an energy I do not understand
—- listening
Just being there touched me
Cultures are a wonder, even before being understood
Attentive understanding
or attentive without understanding
A wonder
Being is true
Attentive being
If you ask where tears come from
and what for
I can not explain
But they are true
