a sharing of readings, thoughts, and photographs
Ten years it took
To build my little cottage.
Now the cool wind inhabits half of it
And the rest is filled with moonlight.
There is no place left for the mountain and the stream
So I guess they will have to stay outside.

The twilight bell
I waited for
is sounding–
if tomorrow is granted me,
I’ll listen for it again.
~Saigyõ (B Watson, Poems of a Mountain Home)
When I look up at
The wide-stretched plain of heaven,
Is the moon the same
That rose on Mount Mikasa
In the land of Kasuga?
~Abe-no Nakamaro
