I remember a feeling that came over me when we walked along the pathway at the beginning of the Torii, over the little bridge...and I am glad that the Torii have brought you full circle.<br /><br />It sounds as if the trip to Japan has provided you with more than you imagined...more than you had hoped for ...and now will be a great source of inspiration for you... <br /><br />Happy daysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477759218685430720.post-6070568688420246262009-11-05T01:18:35.966-08:002009-11-05T01:18:35.966-08:00Striking header!
