Hello friends,
Here in Japan, we had an intense summer with the Sun who sends us much more energy than each last year... But since some days, finally it's getting much better with the rain, sometimes typhoons, and the Sun who stays with us any longer than before... :)
And you? How are you doing?
I'm glad to see you soon and to listen the stories you got, when I return back to Europe.
Best wishes,
Yuko Ota
Bonjour mes amis,
Ici au Japon, nous avons eu un été très intense avec le Soleil qui nous a émis plus de l'énergie que jamais. Mais depuis quelque jours, ça devient beaucoup mieux, enfin..., avec l'arrivée de la pluie, parfois le typhon et le Soleil... qui ne reste plus longtemps qu'avant... :)
Et vous? Qu'est ce que vous avez devenus?
Je serai ravie de vous revoir bientôt et de vous écouter des histoires que vous avez eu, lorsque je retourne en Europe.
Bien à vous,
Yuko Ota

"Kagiroi - Shimmering Haze"
We flowed from the flower of the ground and got separated.
Some encountered - others entreated - others went - then all sang to the time.
We are traced by the boundless swells of the water - the blood of the Earth
faint gusts of the wind - her breath
plentiful piles of the soil - her flesh
red-hot spouts of the fire - her passion
and endless changes of the light and dark in the sky - her space.
You talk about time- the time of a single life out of the line.
Yet we - as a momentary expression of the earth - get born.
Some encounter - others entreat - others go - then all sing to the time.
We are always on a voyage, continually change the form - and we all sing to the time.
