on "Shintō" vs. practice:
”[…]There is further, striking evidence of a dislocation between image and reality, between what are central and local agendas. The Shintō establishment lays claim to some 110 million Shintō practitioners, a figure which corresponds to some ninety percent of the population of Japan. […] Yet all the indications are that ‘Shintō’—as opposed to, say, jinja (神社) or...

Donating to Haiti:
AmeriCares, Mercy Corps, Red Cross, & UNICEF. For some reason, Doctors Without Borders & the ELCA blacklisted my IP address for “authorization failures,” so I’m redownloading my VPN to work on Snow Leopard and trying again.
In other news apparently LESS THAN A PERCENT of donations are used for administrative fees at AmeriCares, less than the other two (FYI, Charity...

Only Skin
Scrape your knee, it is only skin
Makes the sound of violins
And when I cut your hair and leave the birds all of the trimmings
I’m the happiest woman among all women
And the shallow waters stretch as far as I can see
Knee deep, trudging along
The seagull weeps “So long,”
Humming a threshing song until the night is over
Hold on, hold on
Hold your horses
Back from the...

ほろ苦きもの (things that are faintly bitter)
歳寒の間に毎日くっきりと見えた景色が、桜が咲き始めそうに暖かい日にふいに見たらかすんでいて、気づかないうちに最後にその景色を見たのかと思うこと。
愛しい人に、小さなことで胸を痛められて、その人が覚らずに「好き］と優しくいう時。笑おうか、泣こうか、どうしようか分からない。
傷つけるようなことを言ったのに、言われた人がそれに気がつかないことで自分の卑しさに気づくこと。相手を傷つけるよりましだけど。
成長するに従って実家がホームではなくなっていくこと。
卒業式、我が子の結婚式、非常に年をとった祖父母のお葬式はほろ苦きもの。
懐かしい所に戻ったら、思い出の通りであるけど、何となく何かが違うこと。
偉い人の予想に反して成功すること。
落ちた紅葉の絨毯と透き通った青空。また、最後の渡り鳥のお別れの鳴き声。そして、大事な人の｢有り難う。｣
