Oh God
I miss the temples and shrines of Japan. Here there are only churches, and I feel so out of place whenever I visit one. Christianity is not my thing. I don't believe in that kind of god. Not really sure what I believe in, but it isn't that.
Shinto is something that I feel more comfortable with. I like the idea of smaller gods living all around us. In the trees, rivers and mountains. In nature. And in Japan it felt like there was something there. It's different here in Sweden. It feels empty. There are no nature gods here. If there are any, they must be sleeping.
My friend Karin is going to Tokyo on a school trip this summer. How I wish I could go with her!
