Roots 5 is half way over and I haven't posted any blogs about the trip yet which I apologize for. For some reason it's more difficult this time around to access a computer and find time to post. I'll endeavor to begin to describe this year's journey into Shakuhachi Heart Country.
All the way up to just beore leaving for Japan I was gigging intensively every day with Dharmakasa doing school shows at the Michael J.Fox Theatre. So was quite tired before the flight. The day before leaving I got a call from Chris, one of the participants on the trip saying that he will not be coming with me on the flight to Japan as his partner, Val got very sick. This put me in a somewhat cloudy mood but I prayed that she would recover and that I would see them in Japan in a week.
I met Barbara, my student at the airport at 3AM and we checked in safe and sound. I was feeling quite distant from Japan at the beginning of the trip; a lot more mellower than my usual heightened anticipation and pre-departure excitement.
To be continued....
