On another note... I am in the process of writing an opera, containing my words and music. The lyrics are my poetry. The 3 poems I've written and posted recently on my Facebook wall are a part of it. And yes, I will be the one singing my words.
I generally have never sang in public up until now.
Sometimes in English, sometimes in Japanese, and some other language(s)..
It's always been when I was alone, usually in the woods or in the shower... except for that one time I sang something in front of William Wood (Matt Zentrix) a few years ago.
"...it doesn't matter what you wear....
just as long as you are there...."
The other morning, I went outside on my balcony, and sang my poetry out loud for the first time.
I have secretly been working on this project for over a decade. A book containing my art and poetry will accompany this.
Surprise :)
More details in a little while.

Make a contribution
Of beauty to this world.

Is yourself.
