Blue Desert

Watched the film "Japanese Story" on DVD today with Michelle, a sympathetic friend who had spent 8 months travelling around the world last year.

Here's the synopsis.

The film, to me, is about how people can fall in love and open their heart to others (who are so different) when removed from the constraints of culture and in the open expanse of nature.

Being back in San Francisco, I'm reminded of the games people play and the complex motivations and considerations surrounding meeting others. Travelling far away from home, you get used to opening your heart and trusting your instincts.

I guess I have some readjusting to do.
