'I feel the earth, move...'

Last night, at 3:13am I awoke to an earthquake. I have one minute to tell you about it.

I was not scared. On the contrary, I felt a connection with this planet that I hadn't felt before. The earth seemed almost... ALIVE.
The shake itself lasted only about four or five seconds, and there was one tremor about five minutes afterwards. Yet, it was most extraordinary. I could have never imagined the feeling of awe that accompanied it. To anyone who has not yet experienced a small earthquake, I highly recommend you go out and find one. ;)

Ha ga ga ga, well blows me down!!!

I'm off to Kyoto tomorrow morning for five days. Going to Kyoto in the fall will be a dream come true.
