It looks great. But I think I’m wrongly tagged. I’m no novelist. Business books only from me.

Apparently his wife may have been a MUCH bigger part of his work than is usually acknowledged. The gardens are beautiful. And bc of him my first weekend in what was to become my home for 3 years was at a ZAZEN retreat in the hills of Shimane. Wonderful experience.

It’s so different from English that I’d recommend a literal as well as a “real” translation to help you get a sense of it. One to one translations of poetry might be interesting depending on what you’re trying to achieve. The grammar is always diabolical though.

Peer reviewed articles have been roundly ignored by every family member, most friends and healthcare workers I’ve shared them with. As have “for the people” articles with links to studies. “Lessons learned” is mealy mouthed. What was learned? By whom? What difference has it made?

“I’m after getting robbed” was used by a professor of mine in my first class. I understood it differently from non Hiberno English speakers. Decades ago and it sparked my (it now appears) life long interest in language and communication.
