I should add that a good contribution to the day was made by finishing a short story collection by Murakami.
Murakami is excellent because his stories will kick you hard in the gut simply on the basis of how normal and everyday everything that happens is. The stories use the Kobe Earthquake as a background, but only as contrast to the personal tumult that each character experiences. Things you and I feel.
It is the tumult, the longing to know yourself, that makes the stories hit you for just that reason. It's being uncertain about where you're going.
It's hard to explain, but that's really the point.
Just a thought.
