Dabu: My Neighborhood Japanese Restaurant

One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in town: Sushi Dabu. As you can see, you can get more than sushi. This was lunch the other day.

Vincent, you knew how / To create light from within / Art and emotion!

A Poison Tree

– William Blake

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe;
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I water’d it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with my smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright;
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole
When the night had veil’d the pole:
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretch’d beneath the tree

No shadow can eclipse the brightness of this white hibiscus.
