Nowhere Man

I’m a traveler by nature, so when the pandemic hit in spring, 2020, my way of life profoundly changed. Moored in Kyoto, a city I had been living in for eight years, I began taking long walks, sometimes alone, sometimes with the family dog (a Kai Ken), appreciating how light and shadow made beautiful the spectacularly banal. The city is world-famous for its temples and shrines, but in my long peregrinations I am reminded once more it really is the journey, and not the destination, that counts.
