Pan and Circus Kyoto, Japan

I've been staying at a really cool guesthouse in Kyoto all week called Pan Circus. Here's a photo of my blueberry/mango/broccoli smoothie.

角館 (Kakunodate, Japan)

On a gig in Kakunodate (Akita Pref.) last week, I saw this room.  The design...lighting...space...energy was captivating. Love spending time in rooms like this. This was the house of a samurai.

Contemplating

Was practicing one afternoon near "the bridge." This young woman came and left flowers near the water and meditated/prayed/contemplated for an hour. It was deep. And beautiful.
