Reason and Mystery

Climbing Iceberg

I wrote this for Wilsonfest and in the honor of Rick Wilson, mathematician and professor at Caltech and his wife, Kathabela.

Reason and Mystery

Reason starts with R

R sits with Rick

Rick does math that begins by M of “Mystery”

I took above two photos at the Yokohama Minatogamieruoka park yesterday. 

Sei-on (pure sounds)

rick plays shakuhachi

the word, shakuhachi, has only sei-on

flutes also have only sei-on

saito mokichi wrote hosohoso to describe the sounds of flutes

like all flutes, hosohoso is all sei-on

*for sei-on and daku-on, please search on the internet. 

I also wrote a blog on "Pure and Impure."

Here's Kathabela!

リック、尺八を吹く

しゃくはちもフルートも清音なり

笛の音を

茂吉はほそほそと書いた

ほそほそは

たく音にあらつ
