John A Starnes / Page two

I felt compelled several times to place stones from the unmarked large wooden bowl on the floor and the one marked "sorrow" into the one labelled "joy"...I was so pleased to see that many others had felt the same...the Joy bowl had many more rocks in it.

The telephone rang twice, seconds apart and a guard energetically told a nearby young Japanese woman to answer it...she picked up the second time and others gathered around.

I put my own wish, to have dinner some time with Yoko and just chat, on the "Wish Tree" and read some of the wishes...remarkably eclectic, some joyous some sad, many echoing the wish that John could still be with her.
