As I tossed in bed, wide awake at 3:00, I began to despair that Robin would ever get the kanji versions of the translations to me. He is a very busy guy, in addition to taking care of his sister who is battling cancer he is working on several books at once. In the dark I imagined how I could redo the book so one would not miss the kanji - how I could continue without his help.

Then upon opening my email - there the kanji was! And he was doing far more work than I had asked for. He gave me various possible translations with the matching kanji. It was almost an embarrassment of riches!

The pages look so much more impressive and complete with the kanji on them. I am so thrilled and excited. My joy today is so much higher than my despair was deep!

today

standing on tip-toes

an act of love

above faith and forgiveness

just to think of you
