You will notice the words “Ocean Mind” floating in the banner at the top of this Website. The words refer to a phrase that came out of a conversation I had many years ago with Seiho Tajiri. (See the "Ocean Mind" essay on this Web page.) Having an "Ocean Mind" is being receptive, appreciative and embracing of all of the differences that exist in human beings. These differences can include: race, language, culture, beliefs, religion, gender, sexual orientation, physical condition, physical appearance, education, politics, socio-economic position and even personality. “Ocean Mind” says human beings, like the ocean, have the capacity to touch all shores, all countries and all people—evenly and the same.
