So, in short, Im alive, a bit nervous, and no longer doing the 88 Temples in Shikoku (really, I can’t say how sad this makes me, but I’m just not in the right place mentally to take it on at the moment).

I’m sorry you couldn’t do the Shikoku pilgrimage. I would love to do that sometime too. But I can understand your concerns. Were you planning on doing it alone?
Well, Im sorry. I thought you must have been on the pilgrimage all this time. That’s too bad. I had the same experience where I couldn’t tell if I was moving or if it was a strong wind or truck so I’d go stare at the light cord like a crazy person for minutes to see if it was swaying. Well, I hope you can reschedule your trip soon.
