John is starting Temple Dusk: Zen Haiku (English and Japanese Edition)
She walks on an autumnal golden leaf blanketed path
through a garden in a small village in Japan.
A gift to us to her last breath.

Learning how to die. Learning how to be with dying. Learning how to take care of others. Directly meeting ourselves: face to face.

John is 50% done with Incomplete Nature: How Mind Emerged from Matter
Worthwhile project. Could use better editing.

Incomplete Nature: How Mind Emerged from Matter


John
John is starting The Buddha in the Attic
Just about to start. read her other one this summer, When the Emperor Was Divine,a glimpse at the Japanese internment during WW2. Somewhat dream like and not at all horrific...somehow everything seems to vaguely happen near or around the primary family in this operation...We'll see about this Buddha in the Attic or is it the belfry...

The Buddha in the Attic

John
John is on page 57 of 480 of Selected Writings, Volume 3: 1935–1938
Three essays into this gizmo & I'm totally awed by this guy! Overarching syncretizing intelligence: art, commoditization, architecture, archetypes, epochal dreams of bourgeois markets evolving through 19th century Paris: arcades, dept stores, high end gunk...upper middle class striving 2 b & 2 show as the merchants enjoy the freedom of post empire France...But then 2 an extraordinary review of Brecht's 3 Penny Novel!
