Today’s Monday morning commute takes me past the southern tip of the Japanese mainland to the island of Yakushima with a heavy back-to-back agenda of, doing nothing for a week.

Well OK, maybe a little bit of something.

Still need to become heat-of-the-moment comfortable with a newish camera and certainly in need of some mental space to day-dream. Freebasing for the mind so to speak. Plus there’s the little matter of the back-country to explore.

Time + energy = bliss.
