I have little to say - or better, I could say lots, but I'm not in the right mood, as you can read and
easily imagine by the folio below: I'm here just to post something and to tell friends that I'm still
alive...nothing but a little (yes, and big sized) work I have achieved thru this last week, sort of
previous training to one of the two I'm sending to this year's SSI Lay Members Day Exhibition in
London - yes, I decided that one of them will be a shodou, although not all that big...oh well,
comments are open, and friends welcome, LOL!

「冬の風」・ fuyu no kaze ・ winter wind
...adding two days later one more, smaller but same-mooded shodou:

海雲に
見張かもめは
冬の超え
umigumo ni
mihari kamome ha
fuyu no koe
watchful gulls through the seaclouds, voice of this winter
(NdH: "mihari" would better be literally translated as "GUARDIAN, SENTINEL", which IS one specific role in a
gulls flock's social organization...I truly loved the idea and image of such a minimal and extreme attention,
"WATCHFULNESS" - like a RON'IN ("wave-man") samurai left alone on that misty cliff and paying his closest
"senses' attention" to the world around him...deep mind clearness and total self-defense.)
