sunday morning with akazome emon
I can no longer tell dream from reality.
Into what world shall I awake.
From this bewildering dream? ~Akazome Emon*
Akazome Emon (956-1041) was a member of the great group of women poets, roughly contemporary with Murasaki and the author of the Eiga-Monogatari, the story of the supremacy of the Fujiwara, an unusual type of book for a Japanese woman to write at any time.

skyscape’s dawning
In the summer night
The evening still seems present,
But the dawn is here.
To what region of the clouds
Has the wandering moon come home? ~Kiyohara no Fukayabu

words of wisdom
“… the wind bids me to leave you.
“Less hasty am I than the wind, yet I must go.
“We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day; and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us.
“Even while the earth sleeps we travel.
” We are the seeds of the tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind and are scattered.”~Kahlil Gibran*
