Grasping Water
You cannot grasp water in your hand.
It drops through your fingers.
You cannot grasp truth in your mind.
It drops through your thoughts.
You can only possess water by drinking it,
Taking it it into your body.
You can only possess truth by living it,
Taking it into your heart.
From Robert van de Weyer, Celtic Parables: Stories and Poems, p.28.

Ami! I was thinking about you just the other day when I saw your cell number in my phone. I hope Japan remains as awesome as it was this summer and you continue to adjust well. Eat some fresh fish for me--it is in short supply here in Iowa.
