The Zen Diary

Story Line

An essayist, he finds peace in his mountain life. His routine is pleasantly disturbed by occasional visits from Machiko, his editor and love interest, as he struggles to let go of his late wife's ashes.

“To eat is to live. To eat is to love, that's why food tastes the best when eaten together.”
