Last night Fumiko-san and I had invited our friends, Misao
Takahara and Terayama-sensei for dinner. She had noticed an
organic restaurant near the Takadanobaba train station the day before,
and thought that would be a good place to go. Misao-san had
called to say she probably would be late, but as it turns out, they ran
into each other on the train platform (this is a very busy station the
train platform (this is a very busy station). We all laughed about the
coincidence.
At the restuarant, however, we had more synchronicities. It
turned out that the chef was a friend of Terayama-sensei, who had
visited Findhorn with him many times. Terayama-sensei works
with cancer patients and teaches all over the world. He
used to be a skeptical scientific engineer. After healing himself
of his own cancer, he completely transformed his life, and is now a
highly respected teacher and healer.
Just as we were leaving, another customer walked in and saw us. He
turned out to be the editor who publishes the books of
Terayama-sensei--and he told us he was leaving for Findhorn the next
day! Terayama-sensei was so happy to see him, because he had been
wanting to call him and order more books, but would have missed him if
we had not run into him at just that moment. |
