path and temple (kamakura, japan)

when i was out exploring on my bike one afternoon, i decided to venture to komyoji temple in kamakura. i had been there a few years back, during the summertime, and had taken a few photos of the cats and other animals there.
it struck me that i had gone there at two very different times in my life: the first was when i was so giddy about having come to japan; i would go to kamakura and chat with my dear friend N on the phone while the salt-laden sea breeze tingled my lips. N lived in Boston at the time, and every time that i called her i could close my eyes and feel as though i was just on the opposite side of the harbor or something--instead of being on the opposite side of the globe.
this past time, when i revisited komyoji, these memories flooded back as a part of a waking dream-- and i could feel the sunlight as though it was summertime '02 again; i had reached for my phone to ring N, chat with her for a while-- when i realized that, as she wasn't on the other side of the harbor after all, i would be waking her up at 3 in the morning.
