How long have you lived in Japan?
Quarter of a century and counting. (Maybe it's time to stop counting.)
You mean it's a life sentence?
Looks that way.
Did you design this Website yourself?
Very funny. You can see quite well that I haven't a clue when it comes to Website design. This site is a shack, not a palace. But it suits my purposes.
Why is this site so totally devoid of graphics? Is that a symptom of your design ineptitude?
Yes, partly. The fact is, my imagination is purely verbal. It "sees" in words, not in pictures.
Why do you call your magazine "Silence"?
Because silence is the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced. My goal in writing is to convey silence in all its depths.
Can we read it aloud if a loved one is present?
Yes. Please do.
