Thanks to my friend Kai for sending me this photo from the Asia Society Museum in NYC on the day I heard that Daiwa Shobo will publish From Mindfulness to Heartfulness in Japanese. Although the road from imagining a story or idea you want to put into words and share with others to its publication as a book is long, grinding, and winding, these are the fruits of our labors that all writers hope for. So keep writing, all you writers out there!
