A friend describes me as a truth-seeker; not sure that truth exists, not sure of anything. Another friend describes me with the Japanese term, unsui (雲水), itinerant monk, on pilgrimage, “to drift like clouds and flow like water,” without attachment, at home everywhere and nowhere. Write each day (The Daily), and longer post on first day of each month. Write to better understand a world that I do not understand.
