Iwama 岩間 Living closer to nature (a thank you to "Joy")

Some spare clips from Iwama that made me think...
I'd like to live closer to nature.
Don't get me wrong, I like the city were I live, but I miss nature.
I miss the sounds and smells of the trees, the mountains and the sea.
I miss living at a pace I find sane, as I sometimes feel the environment around me is moving too fast.
It seems a lot of people feel the same way.
Like they've had enough of the mindless rushing, frantic checking of the mobile-phones and chasing the latest fad to 'keep up' with trends someone else created... just find a new one introduced as soon as you've gotten 'with it'.
There is LOADS to learn from nature especially when it comes to recalibrating our minds from stress and the constant sensory overload.

I made this video for my friend Joy, who helps me so much
in a country where most days I can't even read my own mail.
You're the best.

It's a very short clip of some very "nihon poi" stuff.
Hope you enjoy it.

I wrote this comment last night and I was sooooo sleepy.. but I wanted to say "Thank you" to you "P".

I'm not "nihon poi" person but I like stuff like "nihon poi".. that

I would love to be able to just, go to a place like, and live with nature, man and nature as one, creating a beautiful harmony, and allowing us to slow down, and take in the sights around us.

You are right...so much we could learn from nature, but, we ignore it. But, if, we just for one moment let out selves be receptive then, we could all learn to be so much happier!

Thanks for the upload!
