Awake tonight
Alone with terrible desire,
I cannot keep myself from longing
for the handsome moon.
--Ono no Komachi (9th century Japanese poetess).

I don't know how we all missed this one way back when. It is truly beautiful, Peter, as always. Thanks.

Waiting for the sight of her nude boyfriends butt no doubt?

Boy, Peter, just not the caliber of the old days' response is it? Sorry...I now understand, more fully, the "why bother."

If you sit in silence and never speak,
What stories will you leave for the young people to tell?
If you live shut up in a forest thicket,
How can the sun of wisdom shine out?
No dried-up carcass can guard the Way.....
(Han-Shan)
yours,

Peter T.
