Happy
This month’s message from Hozouji left me feeling singularly unimpressed.
人生は
うれしさ半分
かなしさ半分
jinsei ha
ureshisa hanbun
kanashisa hanbun
life is
half happiness
half sadness
“So what?” I ask myself. Big deal. Well, it’s little things that make me happy. Things like this list of useful veggie links on Seika University’s website, with this little baby right at the top:
Deep Kyoto – Excellent local info including listing of vegetarian restaurants and import foodstores, more restaurants here, very valuable source LINK
And even more so, this:
…in terms of really getting into Kyoto, you still can’t beat material that’s lovingly hand-crafted at the personal level. One of the most helpful Kyoto resources for residents and visitors is Michael Lambe’s wonderfully informative blog, aptly named Deep Kyoto (www.deepkyoto.com) “…introducing those good places and people that make up the modern city. The primary focus of the blog is on cafes, bars and restaurants of character. … All reviews are of places I personally have visited and taken a shine to, and include opening hours, plenty of photographs, and super clear directions.” (Particularly useful for anyone looking for vegetarian specialities, and really relaxed places to hang out…). Link to Kyoto Journal
Hell, yeah! I’m loving Kyoto Journal right now!
Having said all that though, I expect it’s little things that make me unhappy too… Hmmm…
