Nature spirits, ancestor spirits, every rock and tree is inhabited. Even the earth itself is a living entity. I think this is why one never feels lonely in nature and also why it is so restorative. Given respect these entities are always benevolent. Life has taught me to be wary only of living human beings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070755514672481274.post-9528564383974629632011-02-10T08:49:57.028+07:002011-02-10T08:49:57.028+07:00To sarahmagdalene,
Thank you for your kind invita...To sarahmagdalene,<br /><br />Thank you for your kind invitation!<br />We share quite a few similar interests, it might because we grew up in a similar environment.<br /><br />It is very difficult for me to keep inner balance if I am too far away from the nature. Convenience and shopping cannot regenerate myself, and it took me years to realise that.<br /><br />When I was in UK, it was much easier for me to recharge myself as natural walkways were everywhere in the town, and I started believing in the existence of fairies and goblins on the field. Are you interested in this kind of thing?杉山麻衣 Jack Russell Terrier in Bangkokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019147191599922000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070755514672481274.post-92034856538050542742011-02-10T06:17:53.180+07:002011-02-10T06:17:53.180+07:00Dear Mai,

Though I am living in the city now, I have a dream to move back out to the country and establish an organic garden. I grew up running wild in the bush and on the beaches and lost my heart at an early age to this wonderful land. Truly, the power and majesty of the pristine wilderness here is awe inspiring. <br /><br />I always feel a bit sorry for tourists here though, because the cities are quite dull, the distances huge and the wildlife shy and often nocturnal. It's not an easy place to see in a hurry. I hope I can help you experience it more fully, and understand why it is really the great love of my life. Though I need inspiration from other artists to make me feel less lonely, it is this land that really feeds my art and my soul. It is my Fuji san!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070755514672481274.post-67682560570050383472011-02-09T17:43:19.393+07:002011-02-09T17:43:19.393+07:00Dear Sarah,
Thank you for your comment.
I love to...Dear Sarah,<br />Thank you for your comment.<br /><br />I love to listen to Western music before when I was a teenager. In fact, I never really listened to Japanese pops or rocks at that time, so I am aware of the fact that there are many many great musicians in the West in 60's, 70's and 80's. <br /> <br />I am not personally fond of rap and techno music much, which have become dominant in Western music market since 90's, and maybe that is one of the reasons it is difficult to find a popular musician who could also be classified as a poet.<br /><br />It is my dream to visit Australia once! I am very much interested in organic farming and wild animals in the nature, and you have that all in one package!! My first friend abroad was an Australian, and I have heard a lot about your country.<br /><br />It is such a wonderful thing to have an identity as what we are, where we are from owning a good knowledge about ourselves, and then, next step is to pay respect to the people from other culture. <br />Music can be acted as a catalyst to unite different nations all over the world, and computer helps a lot to make world music accessible to anyone through internet.<br /><br />It is our pleasure to know that you understand Shimura kun's music so deeply and "feel what he is" though his music.杉山麻衣 Jack Russell Terrier in Bangkokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019147191599922000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070755514672481274.post-67773232556265937072011-02-09T05:33:59.821+07:002011-02-09T05:33:59.821+07:00I was trying last night to think of a Western popu...I was trying last night to think of a Western popular musician who could be classified as a poet, whose lyrics would be worth reading without the music, and honestly I could not. Not sure why this is. Western culture has produced many great poets in the past. <br /><br />Sadly since the 1980s there has been very little in the way of music worth listening to either. But it's not all bad. I do like the people here. They are very honest and kind to children and animals, and I can't imagine living anywhere else. I am glad though that I have a high speed internet connection and can source my inspiration elsewhere.<br /><br />Of course I know that I am missing out on a very important element of Shimura kuns music in not understanding his lyrics, but it's possible to feel his intelligence just in the tone of his voice. It's quite obvious if you are sensitive what the state of someones soul is, just by how they express themselves. Besides which the complexity and beauty of his music can easily stand alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
