Lost in Japan

In Japan, getting lost became for me a heart warming part of the journey. Its people are quite generous with their time and in short order I grew more comfortable asking for assistance. Don’t be surprised if someone stops where they’re going to walk you to where you need to go even if it takes them way out of their way. Once, an 80 year old man noticed I'd lost track memorizing the 5 turns required to be on my way. So he got off his train with me to walk me down my path. There remained this feeling when he returned to his track: “What a gentle man. This ocean of kindness is the way life ought to be.” --tnm
