you have been having constant headache for the last two weeks. you know it's not migrant and it usually goes without notice after a session of workout, when you are busy at work or when you are on the business trip.
you when for a medical consultation today and the result is as you suspected.
faith needs to be proven, testing proves that you depend on God. to be able to stand above your problems, you need to give thanks and put yourself under God's authority. God who is the one who has power over your life and when you trust in Him, the problems will be under your feet, simply because you trust in God. and when you give thanks, you think of His power, greatness and the things that only He can do. so you choose not to be anxious but meditate on His word because if you choose to worry, you are thinking on the problem and not on God.
smiling away your problem. not being ignorant but thankful because your God knows that you can handle another trial and that you are going to come out beautifully as always!

you are in the mood for photography again (which is good) and not knowing what your object/subject should be, you then discovered a bag of japanese gift wrapping clothes (furoshiki) under your desk.

you started to collect this during your first trip to japan (kyoto to be exact) and when you got to know the cultural meaning behind these and plus they are recycle-able, and thus they are 'greener' than normal wrapping paper.
japanese use this for almost anything including as a wrapper for the bentos (lunch box), it can be use as table cloth (big one), a head scarfs, and being just textile with print, one can wrap them in thousands of ways...
your collection consists of some really traditional patterns that vary according to season, some modern print, some really cheap ones that you got from 100 yen shop or from the market to some quality ones that you bought from specialized shops...
some motives for spring, summer and autumn...

I really enjoyed your photographs; thank you! My sister and I live in Portland, Oregon, and have started making and selling furoshiki. We are trying to learn more all the time about the tradition of furoshiki, and so I wanted to ask you about the cords that were in one of the photographs. Do some of the furoshiki have a draw cord? I hadn't heard of this before and would love to know more about it if you have the time. We are enjoying making our own versions, but also want to know about the tradition.
Thank you again for your interesting post.

Thanks Deborah,
The traditional furoshiki is nothing more than just a pattern textile in square. the one with the cords that you see in the photo is the sewed pouch, by definition not a furoshiki but more gear toward tourists..
