[stylist] [Tanka] stretch

[Lynda Lambert]

Sam,
I have always had a keen interest in things Japanese. I have a  large 
Japanese Zen meditation garden as the Japanese Buddhist Monks create - it is 
beyond peaceful in its minimalism. My art has always recognized the meaning 
and power of negative space and the importance of the empty spaces and 
silences  in creating meaning  in art and literature.  I am at a time in my 
life when I am recognizing "smoke and mirrors" and distractions in my own 
work and in my life - and I am eliminating  so much  - searching for essence 
in everything I am doing.  In my own work, now, I want less and less to find 
completeness. Lynda

It's not surprising really. The Japanese language itself is complex, so why
not the poetry? The com[plex thought forms that comprise both are
fascinating to me and I can admire them from afar without boggling myself.
My hat goes off to anyone who goes deeper than that so I admire your
interest and efforts, Linda.

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed.
I get along with the voices inside of my head.
