'Two truths approach each other.

One comes from inside, the other

from outside, and where they meet

we have a chance to catch sight

of ourselves.'

LX 161, NRT - ZRH, January

Flying home (outbound Tokyo)

I once saw folded mountains -

folded over and over:

like Origami in real.

Only vague

is the likeness,

but culture and landscape

reflecting each other,

in a way I'd not seen yet,

felt inspiring to me.
