Dear friend, or should I say all of you 18 returning visitors ;-)

I was walking night street of the village where I live and was thinking what should I write. Sometimes I have idea and sometimes not. Mostly when I a triggered by something and I have read something, which triggered my mind to thinking I am full of ideas, views.
As it seems today my pool of ideas was exhausted at work where I have spend over six hours brainstorming. I really enjoyed it, but after that I had feel of fulfillment, not surprisingly later at the evening I fell really tired.

On my walk I was wondering how all these little information, other people ideas, could seed a spark in me. How nice it would be able to communicate with those people over the glass of wine. We visited friends tonight for dinner and late night talk. All is done in the language I master with difficulties. I, frankly can’t express myself full in it. I never been a language talent and all my language knowledge (as you can see on my writings as well) is gain purely by listening and reading. Except my mother and English language I have never studied any other language, but I can communicate fluently in four and with difficulties in two/three more.

Anyway for discussions like I would enjoy I could use only two languages and that is rather impossible in my surrounding. I feel rather limited by that especially after such a experience as I had this week.

Suddenly I have nothing more to write, what terrible it is, I am really tired and my eyes are closing. I need to stop my friend. This was very short letter today. Tomorrow I have plans to make some prints and I will possible write some more to you.

Have a nice afternoon, evening or early morning in Japan ;-)
