A Journey Of A Thousand Miles (Visual Poem) // The Kyoto Connection
A visual poem about life.
In the stillness of dawn, life begins its trek-
A journey on paths, both clear and obscure.
Each step, a verse; each breath, a silent haiku,
Whispering tales of ephemeral beauty and enduring strife.
Beneath the cherry blossoms' fleeting bloom,
We walk, our shadows mingling with the dust of stars.
The moon-our silent witness, in its waning and waxing,
Marks time, not in hours, but in moments of clarity and confusion.
The stream's gentle flow, a metaphor for being,
Meanders through landscapes of joy and sorrow.
Its waters, clear and murky, mirror the soul's journey-
A quest for meaning amidst the ever-changing tides of life.
Mountains loom, their peaks shrouded in mist,
Challenging our resolve, our desire to ascend.
Yet, in their daunting silence, we find our strength,
For each summit reached unveils horizons new and vast.
With each season's turn, the path transforms-
Sakura petals give way to autumn's fiery display.
Life, in its essence, a series of fleeting moments,
A dance of light and shadow, of holding on and letting go.
And as the dusk descends, our journey wanes,
The path now lit by the soft glow of fireflies.
In the quiet of twilight, life's impermanence whispers,
A serene acceptance of all that was, is, and will be.
Thus, we wander, souls adrift in the vastness of existence,
Learning, with each step, the art of seeing the unseen.
For in the simplicity of nature's cycle, the complexity of life unfolds-
A beautiful paradox, penned in the silent poetry of being.

Me hicieron vibrar,es como si mi alma despertase😮❤,son maravillosos,que Dios los bendiga
Gracias de corazón por tus lindas palabras!
Listening. Watching trees wave in the wind. Sunlight. Makes me feel high.
Hmmm ... had to slow down the opening song to .75 playback ... actually, entire album sounds better slowed down ... to my ears, anyway.
Maybe your mind is going too fast...
So many Ozric Tentacles/Nodens Ictus sounds. Love it.
Whoa. I’m 32, love music, write songs, play guitar in band. Listen to a wide variety of music. Never heard of any of these in the playlist, nor these guys but it’s all amazing. I feel like I’ve stumbled into a secret reward place and there’s already a cool lil secret community. A cool lil group of people of all ages, from all over the world just vibing out to some sweet Japanese synth pop -TOGETHER. The basic sentiment of basically every comment posted here can be paraphrased as “hell yeah dudes”. And it’s all just beautiful! I feel like I’ve discovered something more than just some cool new music. Feels like a successful night to me
Thank you for your beautiful words! So glad you’re enjoying our music!
Amazing
Never stop please❤

My ts10 is stuck in keyboard calibration mode on boot up. Any tips to fix this?
Mine had that issue once and my tech repair guy fixed it. Can't remember what he did. May have been a power supply issue?
