Yi: Earthquake on New Year’s Day!

Uncertainty rules, impermanence is always present
Be true to the moment never the same twice
The outer world is changing, changing
the old normal will never return.
When going forward is not possible, do not force
but remain within familiar circles
the humble hearth of home
without fear or arrogance.

Dramatic Verse – speech by Naked Woman

Thus naturally reveal the living landscape and history of my
Defeats, failures, sorrow
All telling their tales in my unfolding form,
Which becomes increasingly a form of many folds
And bulges, and over them all an ever finer network of
Interlinking wrinkles, a living raku coated in cracks all over the surface …
Of this my living skin,
This outer billboard of my inner womanhood
