to see these
blossoms once again
some Springtime is one dream
yet to be fulfilled, but time might
grant this humble wish...

TOUR OF DUTY IN JAPAN
Japan is one of the most beautiful nations on earth and the one thing that amazed me when I arrived in Japan was that one could go nowhere without seeing a scene that would make a great photo. But of course, I could not spend all of my time photographing; I had to earn my keep, take time for relaxation and conversation.
It was the conversation that led to a great romance that was meant to last for only a short season, but one that would live in my mind forever. When I recall my fondness for Japan, I am reminded of the joy I experienced the day I arrived and the joy I had each day of my tour, up until the last few minutes before it was time to sail.
Memories are memories, and sometime they are best enjoyed as memories and were, through fate, created for a short time to serve as joyful memories forever. One does not try to recreate what was perfect, one just remember the joy of that perfection.
