I finally got around to editing the photos of my first time in Dazaifu from a month ago. Before going, I had been dreaming of Dazaifu for months, and with good reason. Mae and I wandered with open eyes and beating hearts. It's such a serene, beautiful place! The mountains surround and protect it, all you see is green and red. The gods are so close to you that they seem to touch and bless you wherever you walk, and when you pray. Mae showed me temples, took me up dirt paths, showed me the Kyushu museum with trees embracing each other and towering so high I was speechless. Dazaifu has become one of my favorite places, and thank goodness it's so close to me.
