I miss my days in college! I miss being able to frolic, doing whatever the hell I wanted. I was such a liberated lover (a whore LOL). The way I bedded many male wenches—blue collar men, church men, married men, criminal men...whatever whenever.
flossing—
my morals spilled
on the floor
#zuihitsu
Kimiko said the #zuihitsu was a its own species—a type of fungus, a mystery all in itself.

8. I have this bad habit where I work overnight (11p-7a), and it never fails; i'll end up staying at work (off the clock of course) typing on the computer, surfing the net or doing something; when i should have my ass home and in bed. I get on my OWN nerves!
#zuihitsu
7. Pleasant Things:
fig syrup over hot toast, smell of a burning field of sugar cane, the soothing color-'Haint Blue,' Cookie Dough Ice Cream, Vibrant colors anywhere, Snow storms in Switzerland or Norway, Zydeco and Bousherie-la, drinkin' Tafya rum, the accent of a SW Louisiana Creole.
#zuihitsu
6. As a Louisiana Creole, all of us are normally Catholic. I'm the only child that remembers what life was like as a Catholic. I remember I was taken by the robes and costumes of the Ecclesiastical princes of the church. Then moman got 'saved' and we became Non-Denominational.
#zuihitsu
4. ...always thought 'FECUND' was an interesting word.
fe·cund
/ˈfekənd,ˈfēkənd/
adjective
producing or capable of producing an abundance of offspring or new growth; fertile.
"a lush and fecund garden"
#zuihitsu
3. I'm still waiting for my colleague's wife, to make me my sweet potatoe pie!
#zuihitsu
2. Some girl was talking about needing an abortion. Here in Texas, those kinds of things are just not done. Down here we are modest young ladies who shun the appearance of evil and impropriety! (Most of the old biddy's saying this, were positively whorish when younger!)
#zuihitsu
1. At this big age of forty-four years, I wonder what kind of relationship my father and I would have if he were still on this side of Life. Would we be close? Would I have found an anchor in him, a lifeline to keep me grounded. Would he have been a safe-space when I shared I was queer?
#zuihitsu
I think Julia Cameron's "Morning Papers" is a great example of #zuihitsu too.
6. "Living With Evil"
7. read a zuihitsu by Kimiko Hahn and Tina Chang...both were exquisite

#notetoself - interestingly Suifu Kishimoto-sensei, one of the 6 Masters of Senryu, when discussing his philosophy for #senryu, mentions Yoshido Kenko's "Tsurezuregusa" (Essays in Idleness) which is one of the pillar works of the genre #zuihitsu. ...

A scarf with varying colours - light and dark brown, red, pink, blue, light and dark burgundy, gray, black, pink-and-white
Finishing up a scarf made from various types and colours of yarn makes me think of writing #zuihitsu. Maybe I should write one accompanying it.
#knitting #writingcommunity
Had another talk with Gemini Google AI this time about wanting to reduce the number of social media apps/platforms I have and feel pressured to engage with. Told GG I wanted to kinda reduce down to one and use it as my personal #zuihitsu (Google it! 🙂),
Gotta get back to writing #zuihitsu
Whose up for reading a #Zuihitsu
style experiment—a 5 photo post?
a prompt provide by @jitterbugwrites.bsky.social

for #poetry #napowrimo
A nighttime hillside illuminated flames from a muirburn, creating a vivid orange glow against the dark surroundings.
At Sango did a bright spark decide to muirburn in fierce wind? Rivers of fire rage on the hills. There’s the acrid taste of burnt heather and peat on the back of my throat. Now all I want is a dram of Highland Park:
smokey distillate
a thousand peat summers poured
into cold cut glass
#zuihitsu
Looking forward to sharing what I learnt about Japanese poetry on a recent trip back to Shizuoka, my 2nd home!

my life is one big #zuihitsu
Red, yellow, and green foliage in a Kyoto temple with a roof in the distance.
Coming soon… photo essays on Kyoto in the fall. Amidst the winter gloom, looking back on the splendours of autumn is a quiet joy. #zuihitsu
We are happy to announce the launch of zuihitsu.net!
Zuihitsu is about the art of attending to life's salient impressions. What we publish will be unpredictable, but we hope it inspires you to delight in the pleasures of the everyday and the far away.
