Spanning the waves your pen is like a bow of a ship parting the seas. Separation, distance, discipline to express yourself and father’s, mother’s views. Laughed at New England makes you mean. “It is what it is” see life in three months summers. The other 9 months gestation to await delivery of seeds in the mail
For spring planting. Glad you had chance to grow up in Aloha state of bliss.
Thank you so much for writing this. I am also an introvert she spends a lot of time reading and studying and what you wrote about your father really made me think about effects of isolation and alienation that I’ve been experiencing since returning to the US and my inability to adjust. Both of your parents sound like incredible and fascinating people!!! Enjoyed reading this so much.
aww thank you so much for reading, Leanne. I devote a lot of space to Japan, Japanese people, and my mother, but I have to acknowledge that you can be 100% white American and still feel adrift, and maybe more at home away from home. Hugs to you!

I have a seed catalogue right on my dining room table...and I don't garden! It's so I can remember that January only lasts for a month.
