Beschreibung
After the life he used to know changed completely in less than two years j. t. baka went to the only place left to him. A place where changes happen - but slowly and on a very small scale in comparision to the rest of the universe. A place safe. A safe place. He went to the city of Kyoto for four short trips to get a grip on himself and on his life. On each of his his trips to Kyoto j. t. baka wrote down thoughts and stories in branches of a certain coffee shop chain while he was trying to come to grips with the changes in his life. The first of his four trips was in July of 2019 and the last one was in February of 2020. 2020 the year of the coronavirus. COVID19 the black swan. The big disruptor. The game changer. Isn't it? Maybe so. But the lyrics collected in "At Tully's. Coffee Shop Diaries II" like the ones collected in its companion "Ukiyoe. Coffee Shop Diaries I" show that change is always happening and that we have to face it headon to find our way out of sadness, misery and pain. To find our way. To find our place in life. To find happiness.
