靈性之旅
僅僅只是翻閱端詳
畫冊裡一尊尊的佛
已讓人為之讚嘆、震懾不已
當然之於我， 還有份熟悉、親切
記得是在1996-97年，乍暖還寒的初春
一個人如朝聖的旅者， 走訪古都奈良
渺小的我， 就站在這一尊尊偉大的佛前
帶著無比崇敬、感動的心
仰望他們沈靜、莊嚴的容顏
佛 - 也以慈悲的法眼俯瞰著我
從歷史走來的千年古佛
來自二十世紀的「我」
在靈性的國度， 展開跨越千年亙古的對話
自由，但卻孤獨一個人的旅行， 依然讓我神往
孤獨，但卻自由
其實是我和我的自性
通往彼此心靈的悸動之旅

I read the whole travel log and paused for a long while before I dared to start writing...
I, too, was in Kyoto around the time Ellen was there but did not "see" the same beautiful city Ellen saw. Could it be that my mind was blocked by my other thoughts at that time? Could it be that my preparation was totally inadequate for the one time capital of Japan? Could it be I was there the wrong season (early summer)? Could it be that I simply was an inexperienced traveler at that time? Could it be... Enjoyed the beautiful writings and pictures. If I could venture to guess, Ellen must be a U.S. educated arts or articuture major... Could be philosophy or literature...
It's kind of hard to feedback to your response as I've been Kyoto for many times...
The very old and beautiful city impressed me a lot at my first visiting a decade ago. So I knew her more and longer than you... There's an intimate relationship between me and Kyoto.
I always believe that traveling should be an adventure, a personal experience full of serendipitous surprises especially while you are traveling along. Well planning for traveling is necessary, but I'll let it go afterward to enjoy any surprises include good things or bad things during the journey.
If you happen to visit Kyoto at early summer season, various kinds of beautiful flowers will be in blossom in colorful and magnificent way.
Try to enjoy a spiritual walking at Kyoto next time which I did for years...
i think spiritual is the key word. some people born that way.
