First Thoughts & Reflections

A GAME OF CHESS vs. MOTORCROSS
a tension of opposites.

Kaisen, Confusionism, Wabisabi, Kata, Yugen, Koshi


Japan.
delicate. Intricate. Logistic.

baby pink roses in the elevators.
hustle!

Paradox. yen and yang.


Serve as a bridge for both sides to meet in the middle. Be cautious not to burn your bridges.
Toyota: emphasizing clean, efficient, intelligent and ....fun.
This is the Japanese way.

Education:
both systems seem to be working AS THEIR CULTURE DICTATES. (Eastern and Western)
Japanese efforts on reformation include:

1. independence and creativity

2. personal development among students

3. civic minded in globalized world
4. taking active roles

Ridigity. Structure. Uniform. Conservative. Traditional. Humble.
docile but fierce!

thanks John. Yeah, I just made a mixed cd for a friend with that tune. I learned it on guitar yesterday, actually. God, I love summertime! A new post awaits. (Also some cosmetic changes)...
Have not been back on to read your posts....you seem dangerously close to shark infested waters. Keep on keepin on.
