Chuck sent me this insightful response to yesterday's post. I agree with everything he says and am delighted he gave me permission to share his feedback with you. We do run the risk of becoming observers of our own lives ...
Jan,
You
did seize the moment. You took the time to flip the painting over to read the
artist's commentary. You got "the lost in translation" humor. You
shared it with your traveling companions and you shared it with your readers.
You told a story with words instead of pictures. What better thing to do in a
land which has given the world a wealth of stories long before photography was
invented.
We
don't always need photos and videos to validate our experiences. In fact, when
I watch people filming everything they do, I get the sense they're no longer in
a state of experience but rather a detached state of observer.
Thanks
for sharing your experience.
Chuck
