Utagawa Hiroshige, “Small Horned Owl on a Maple Branch under Full Moon”
“The human heart is like a night bird. Silently waiting for something, and when the time comes, it flies straight toward it.”
Hatuki Murakami, “Colourless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage”
I have just finished this breathtaking book and need some quiet time to rest in it, absorb its beauty, and then I hope to write more about it.

Thanks, Eric. I cannot think of any other contemporary writer that would be able to introduce the spiritual into the mainstream so effortlessly.

Monika, I was so taken with the image yesterday that I am just now realizing who this author is. Haruki Murakami, yes! I read his massive 1Q84 when it first came out in US a few years ago and was so taken with the otherworldly quality of his writing, even in translation.
