zen on the roof

On the larger of our roof terraces, in the new apartment, we decided to have built, a Zen garden. Both Yumi and I need a space for quiet thoughts and solitude so we looked at several layouts and chose one, enclosed in glass for use in any season, and with music. It should be glorious.

We have drawn inspiration from many areas and the Ryogen-in Zen Garden has some elements that we both love.

Oh, Lisa, how stunning! You are a seeker, in all the best senses of the concept. Love, J

I was just wandering on your old blog, and spotted the following exchange, apparently back in Sept. (I had no "Lisa" to cal you then...)

Mz. V, your lifestyle seems quite wonderful! I will read around your various blogs, get to know you a little, but I'm excited to see that a bi girl has such amusing and erotic times around the world. (I was a VERY closeted lez in MY globetrotting days...though there were a few fabulous women who got me past my inhibitions.)

Kisses! Justine

hey Justine, then you need to go globetrotting again and grab some you left behind. It's never too late. *MWAH*


AND NOW WE ARE US!!

Darling Lisa --

You probably also recall this exchange back in August, which (like the Sept. one above) somehow slipped my feeble mind in the intervening months. (My, was I bold then, on first meeting! Proposing, no less!):

No, if you "marry" a girl, she's GOT to be me...not that most states would let us get hitched...so can we just make out, instead?

Hugs, Justine

I'M GLAD YOU LIKED MY NAME, EVEN THEN!

I've been to a few Zen gardens in the near past and found them so peaceful just to sit and think.

With the old Japanese pipe music filtered in it should be like a meditation to rake the stones.

Oh, I thought you seemed familiar. You're that Justine. I loved the name then and I still do. There's something very feminine about that name.

You certainly were bold but bold is good. Marriage, as you say, is legal in the States now (in some places) but in Japan, forget about it. Still, marriage is 99.9% in the heart anyway. ;)
