Those tinged leaves in the middle of summer, make up a mysterious  thicket. This bright part
among the thick green makes my heart throb with sensation. I cannot help but think of Mimi. It's
amazing that I'm now able to talk about her without feeling much pain. Instead, my mind gets filled
with sweet nostalgia. Now I feel I'm going to start a new life, though this might end up as a same
repetition again. Last friday, I watched a performance of a young flamenco dancer, Lisa Ogino.
I was impressed by her strong will to express her innner feeling without pursuing superficial beauty
or elegance. Yes, it's time for me to face my inner self. ( August 27, 2006 )
