☀️ The Good Life - 08/06/2023 - A good home for walking

Updated: Oct 19, 2023


I told Yumiko yesterday that I might walk across Japan; that I might just set out one day with my book and my good shoes and my new hat and walk out the door to go to the other side. I could begin at Shimizu, near where Mt. Fuji meets the sea, and just walk across the big island all the way to the other side; to then dip my feet in the Sea of Japan. I won’t bring a big backpack, or any special gear. I’ll just eat at restaurants along the way and sleep in whatever hotel I find when nighttime comes. And then I’ll come home someday on a train, or maybe I’ll walk back. I told Yumiko that I expect to do a whole lot of such walking in the future, both near and far, and I asked her to please find us a home in a community in Japan that’s a good place for walking. But then I remembered, everywhere in Japan is good for walking. Japan is a very good place to walk and to think—which are my two most favorite things in life to do.
