Poetry – Walk along Life

Life occasionally disappoints us with negative results. We can’t always get what we want and can’t be what we wanted to be. I’m the same. I always was in the search of my own happy ending with every project or initiative, regardless of personal or professional, I was involved with. And occasionally, it didn’t. But that’s okay – because that’s undeniable proof that we’re pretty much living, not just existing. … Continue Reading >Poetry – Walk along Life

Japan is blessed with distinct four seasons, and of the four seasons, autumn is an ideal season to photo-walk across Yokohama to enjoy red and gold-colored leaves. And it is of course an in-between season whose length varies with the weather, and lately thanks to global warming, it’s getting harder to tell the difference between summer and autumn.
