In keeping with the theme of being present, you’ll notice that Day 2 of the journey in Japan with John Morton and his traveling crew is an experience of the Beloved in many forms. Paul Kaye explains to us that it is the true essence which is being revealed to us inside, and being mirrored by all that we experience outside of us. Can you find it?
Shikoku Minka Museum offers great delights. A rickety bridge to adventure across, waterfalls and families of bamboo standing together in silent attention to the passersby. What do they reflect to you?
A peace pole stands as a reminder of the peace here. School children visit this place of peace, bringing their exuberance and playfulness. That joy is contagious, see how your friends in the photos smile.
We walk through small neighborhoods to the Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum. We pause for moments of fun together.
This awesome outdoor museum offers an opportunity to see our true essence reflected through awe inspiring carved stones — huge stones, brilliant and dull, ancient and new, quiet and loud with their sound and power. No photos allowed. John Morton shares a moment of peace with us on top of a hill, with a majestic mountain as a backdrop. God is good.

Don’t know where I am
can hardly find anything
what does it matter?
Arriving by boat at Naoshima Island. Home of Benesse House, a mix of ancient and contemporary. There are no words to adequately describe the incredible beauty here, natural and man made. The blessings already are.
And the journey continues…
