gurdymonkeySurrounded by books,
I delight in the world of
Words and ideas.
The more I read, though, the more
I find I have more questions.
I had to set The Essential Shinran aside for a bit. I should probably read more on general concepts of Buddhism before taking that one on. However, I'm about a third into Eric Rath's Food and Fantasy and I'm completely fascinated by his descriptions of ceremonial Japanese meals and how certain foods are purely decorative or symbolic and served without being meant to be eaten.
I'm headed off to Mists Cynagua War shortly so I will not be able to post tomorrow's tanka until Sunday. That is, assuming I remember to write one. I've been informed the "Clan Makita" boys (Pallidus, Raj & Dafydd) are attending and Dafydd has already threatened to ply me with sake and chili. NOAA currently says a 30% chance of showers...
