I love writing--It's my joy, my therapy--my confession. I'm a performer, dancer, yoga and meditation instructor, write a poetry column for Rafu Shimpo. Growth and love of life is a key to my happiness. View more posts

Sounds like a poem to me– a magical bamboo forest. I was in kyoto the big bamboo forest–love to go back there again.

This is nice, Genie. Love the photo, too. I love bamboo forests. Once in Japan, I got lost in a bamboo forest. I lost my sense of direction, but oddly enough, I wasn’t afraid. It was just so peaceful….
