The hills and mountains of central Japan are pleasant places to walk and explore. I especially enjoy listening for the sounds which are distinct to each season. During summer the rice farmers irrigate their fields and as I pass each rice paddy there is a distinct tinkle and gurgle which can be heard as water flows from irrigation channels into and out of each field. This video captures the sight and sound of just a few such fields which I passed during a recent evening walk. ---- Welcome to the softypapa channel.

The stages of living between these events: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, parenthood and senior are themselves natural and in accord with the needs of the species and most individuals. Many find their satisfaction in living this course and to these individuals I have little or nothing to say. Others though long for something more; something innate, genetic and seemingly calling. Adventure and change can give a degree of satisfaction and relief yet even these may seem too tame. To those who feel drawn to something beyond the entertainment and stimulation of senses I offer a walk along The Path of Wildness. Don't bother penciling the event in your schedule, preparing a pack with goodies and supplies or even inviting a friend along, for this experience is along the course of your first inclination and you must surely always go alone.
