Slow down long enough and you begin to ask how, and why
Slow down too long and you begin to cry

The Profile
- Jonathan Mendelsohn
- has prayed in synagogues and churches, in Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, but mostly he finds his sanctuary inside and in between novels and movie theatres, art galleries and the comfort of a not uncomfortable set of headphones.

Jon,
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long time, eh. This is the second time I've looked at your blog. You inspire me to read. It's been a good six months since I've picked up a good book. Blame that on the master's degree. I got new grammars, sound systems, and SLA articles pouring out my ears. Happy New Year and take care of yourself. Mario
Hey, and hisashiburi,
ReplyDeleteThe Masters is reading, no?
Happy new year to you too, my friend. Hope all is well in Osaka. Please relish the food. It's better than you realize. I'd kill for a good izakaya right now.
