In Japanese no gender but characters do have images which give a distinctive feeling
or flavor to words:Man = 男 = working in rice paddy
woman = 女 = kneeling figure
mother = 母 = woman w/nipples
ocean = 海 = add water to motherEnglish seems to me to be a language with very little “flavor” which makes me wonder if that is why it seems to…[Read more]

My thoughts differ a bit, I am often asked by people who do not
have “craftsman style” training or jobs if doing the same thing
every day is not boring, do I become conditioned to it? My answer
to that would be no. Maybe from an outside observer it looks as
though I am doing the same movements for work (also applies to
chi kung) from my point…[Read more] -

I have had three experiences where I have
felt myself distinctly in that grounded
center. All have been in extreme conditions.as a baby in my crib (details are fuzzy);
when I was in an accident and thought that death was next;
while going thru a breakup that became violent.The last one was the strongest maybe because I was
an adult.…[Read more] -

When my cat and I are
really loving each other,
rubbing our faces together
it can get so intense that
she can’t contain herself
and starts biting my cheeks
and nose. She doesn’t pierce
my skin, I feel her holding
back….
Maybe it is something that
is bigger and goes beyond
that.Adel

Hi S,
Feel strong and feel joy in the knowledge
that you are now ready to handle some raw edges.
It is a cause to celebrate within, as your true self
has a wisdom deeper than any exposed fear, and knows
you are now ready.That is where I want to go…..able to take in the
outside without being emotionally thrown all over
the place. I…[Read more] -

Thanks for replying. When putting feelings into writing I guess it does sound

Hi,
The names for countries who use characters do have
meaning:China 中国 in the center of the world
and
Japan 日本国 where the sun originates in the East

Hi,
Actually 美国 Beautiful Kingdom is the shortened version.
The full name is 美利堅 (beautiful: gain/profit: hard/firm)
and is pronounced to sound like mei-ri-ka.The characters are mainly chosen for their pronunciation
and not so much for meaning. Japan uses the older versions
and I remember being initially surprised by France: 仏国
which…[Read more] -

I’m feeling a lot of love in my life lately 🙂
Sorry, sometimes when writing I come across
a little harsh 😉 But I do truly believe that
people don’t have to be nice all of the time.
A little meaness is sometimes a good motivator
and always hides some truth in it.I often use words like stupid that in English

It’s like having different dimensions that live
side by side, but you can cross a bridge from

The only thing I can grasp is that
because the blue marbles (1,2,3,4)
are whole and the points are decimals
that there is no fixed relationship
(formula)that can be used to pair
them together? Make them countable?If you break up the marble into
degrees (break up the sphere)
would you be able to pair those
