"Two Things" by Rin (2/2/2007)

Dear Goerge,
Thank you for ‘We’-we who will who,we.
“There is no I without the We but there is no true We without I.”
This must be the core of your thoughts…. you called 'the simple truth'.
I believe every letter in any culture or in any era was created by
people’s hand through their vision. They must put something to tell.
Each letter has its meaning. When we lined letters, the words start
taking more meanings. The style or condition of writing (including the
space between letters) will take an intension. In my understanding,
the beauty of Japanese Calligraphy is the balance of imbalance. ‘The
simple truth’ is indeed, most difficult.
I have checked about the letter ‘W’. I thought it is interesting.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
the letter W is the twenty-third letter in the Latin alphabet. It is
occasionally used as a vowel, similar to Y. Its name in English is double-u,
which is the longest letter to pronounce.The letter “W”, it is from this
<uu> digraph that the modern name "double U" comes. In Japan, W is
commonly used in slang and advertising to represent the English
loanword "double". In Italy, W (which does not appear in the Italian
alphabet) stands for Viva ("long live"). ----From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia

I have been thinking about ‘style’ these days. People often ask me
what kind of style my art is. What is ‘style’?
‘Style’ and ‘Content’. Does style change as contents change?
When I was young, I used to dress mostly black. I felt safe when
wearing black. Maybe I was making some statement. I wonder what
my intension was.
Well, I am losing my concentration now. The thoughts might come
back later.
This time my response is ‘ two things’
Love&Peace,
Rin
