The glyphs are Suma and Kenno – “Hi” and “light” for your information in Shinto or the Bale of the Rain.

For your info, though you may have figured this out, Japanese is read right to left so whoever composed the above seem to have been english speaking and have copied it glyph by glyph from an english phrase, so it is incorrect really, sorry to tell you. Also it could be Kharmah or another Chinese dialect which I forget for the moment, as there is a strong relation between the two, that is Chinese and Japanese but you may know that already. It appears that you do so I will say, Oh Master, that there are a number of ones but not a two in the air tonight, you know what I mean? Sleep well.

Sometimes, I think this is what I love most about you. It’s not so important for the Poet to “be right” or possess complete knowledge, as it is just to “be.”
Wisdom proliferates in and freely flows from those who are willing on behalf of the rest of us to stand in the river and get very wet. What you may readily own as ignorance, I regard as beautiful humility.

Really enjoyed this one. The same principle applies to playing the guitar. Fingers go down on the stings as a group rather than individually.

Daniel’s writings on music often apply to poetry. Interesting how that is.

A great blend of psychology, philosophy, and cultural. Funny how pictographs were considered primitive forms of communication now they’re in use worldwide.

It’s mindboggling what these little bits of lines and squiggles have come to represent.
