As some of you know, I am a musician, primarily a keyboardist, who has been forced to take an extended break from my craft due to tendinitis. While I wait for this injury to heal, I will attempt the 88 Temple Pilgrimage in Shikoku, Japan. It's 700 miles of Reflection, Risk, and Rebirth. Time will heal my injury, but for pilgrims on the trail, miracles are not unheard of. . .in any case, I will have faith. One of my primary life goals is returning to the piano, so while I wait for that to become possible, might as well knock out another life goal. Salut, my kababayan.
