Here is the second exciting chapter of the seminal reading of what several publications are calling, "The Story of the Century".  And yes, I lifted that from one of the hundreds of jacket blurbs and boiler-plate reviews culled from the volumes lining bookshelves from Brookings, Oregon to Yokuska, Japan. At least I got one right.  It is the second chapter. But is it exciting, the best of its class, included in the elite 100, and called by many the story of the century? No. At least not to my knowledge. BUT I WON'T LET THAT STOP ME. As mentioned in our sister posting today, yes, we've been busy, but practice doesn't always make perfect. It does, 99 times out of 100, make whatever you are doing, better. Once the creator of said skills, dreams or promises, gets to better, said creator has a choice to make (at the crossroads). She can continue to improve, or simply be satisfied with the level of acumen achieved getting to the aforementioned intersection. If she chooses to continue the journey, the quality of the practice must become perfect in order for her practice to make perfect. The distinction is not too subtle. It is Moby huge, and not many have the stamina, opportunity or courage to even consider the scope of the challenge, let alone go there.Yet here we are. Chasing something better than what we currently have, or where we currently are. I invite you, again, to join the process, this small, quick, inconsequential journey of a thousand words. I want to get better and this is a part of that. I truly believe that this is a tale that should be told to as many people as possible. It has it all, history, drama, conflict, irony, honor, dignity, friendship, loss, war, peace and everything between them. My protagonist is Japanese. He was doing his Emperor's bidding when he was assigned to killing Americans during WWII. It haunted him forever, until he was given an invitation whose proxy was redemption. He was, to quote from the screenplay, an honorable man. This is ChapterTwo his story. I hope I have done him some justice. Thanks for listening.KevinVisit us on Facebook and leave a comment!!
