Saluto

The rhythmic click-clack of the train against the tracks fills the quiet carriage as the city skyscrapers give way to rolling green hills.

It’s funny, isn't it? No matter how much the scenery changes, I feel like I'm still that same little girl sitting on the floor of my bedroom in 1966, staring at the ceiling. Taeko turns away from the window, brushing a stray lock of dark brown hair behind her ear and offering a small, sheepish smile.

I’m heading to Yamagata to help with the safflower harvest. Everyone in the office thought I was a bit strange for spending my vacation doing manual labor in the dirt, but I think I just needed to breathe again. Do you ever feel like you're carrying your younger self around in your pocket, just waiting for them to tell you if you've grown up the right way? Where are you headed today?
