Oh and two women from Japan I just recalled. On was when I was little. Her name was Fumiko, she married this big white man named Bill. They met during his military tour. I will never forget Fumiko. I was abotu 12 at the time. When I would go to their house, she would squeal in delight at seeing me, like I was her long lost daughter. Such affection poured out of this woman, much like a dog who sees its owner when he returns home. She would go to her bedroom and retrieve all these items to give to me. She loved to give me things, and wait on me, feed me and just give me so much attention. I loved Fumiko back even though I was uncomfortable with all her attention, I loved how she was so able to love another without expecting anything in return.
Then there was Masako, a friend I had in my 20s from work. My contact with her somehow has put the energy of Japan in my body. I've had lots of friends from other countries but never do I feel I walk away with the country inside me. But in Masako's case, I do feel that way, that due to being in contact with her, a part of me is Japanese (as if I've lived there)...hard to explain. And she is a woman with power, though she didn't realize it like in Toltec terms. She could see into people very keenly.
I have no strong desire to live in Japan though. We had an opportunity to last year, but their requirements on pets entering were too stringent so we didn't go. We almost went to Korea too. I love Asia, but honestly I never planned to be here, lol. Its like I was pulled here. And my whole life has Asian themes but again I never sought the cultures out directly.
