I’ve been in the Dragon’s jaws of illness since 2001. This website is about the exquisite jewels in my life: family, dharma, Beethoven, opera, a hound dog, a TV show, a town, Issa.
 
One, seven, three, five
Nothing to rely on in this or any world.
Nighttime falls and the water is flooded with moonlight.
Here in the Dragon’s jaws,
Many exquisite jewels.
