Everyday
Slowly getting into the habit of writing short and fast.
Behind lies a thousand drafts.
Of life lived
Rubbish collected and put into collections
To be dusted and flown into some sort of form - an internetform.
So let's go
I have started learning Chinese. I have started finishing a novel I wrote and finished about 45% - 20 years ago. Writing calligraphy from old poets like 王維 and 李清照 - reading, reading - consulting online Chinese dictionaries. Doing cardio in shorts with a brown, British and very enthusiastic lady on youtube.
And walking. Walking .

Learning Chinese! Calligraphy! Shorts!
Excellent photograph. It has sped up my heart.
Nice to see you again.
I have a friend who does Chinese translation and she lived there for a while. It seems like something you have to immerse yourself in.
The sad thing is that we in general know so little and that it is a civilisation that is as large and old as ours. So immersion is necessary at least for a while... but I also think a lot about how we can build bridges.
Another friend just went, but he has Chinese ancestry, via Malaysia.
