the art of getting lost
The ritual
To cope with the ever-changing world in which we live in, Paul Mc Cartney sang that we be prepared to live and let die. For me, I prefer to have a ritual. For many years, whenever I am in the posh Naka Meguro, I buy a sesame bagel from a small shop. Next, I buy a caramel flavoured coffee from a combini. As I rest by the river, this one pigeon with a missing foot always drops by to pick on the sesame seeds.
Aside: Paul McCartney’s Live and Let Die was the theme song for Roger Moore’s first appearance as James Bond. This was the first movie from the series that I watched, hence the song is etched in memory.
