“Surprisingly, bonsai began in China around 2000 years ago and were brought to Japan and Korea where it was developed into the Japanese art form we know today. Typically kept under four feet in height, bonsai translates from Japanese to “tree planted in a container.” Common bonsai species include Ficus, Juniper and Japanese maple, but there are hundreds of trees that can be grown and refined into bonsai!” By Greta Engel I did have a Bonsai once— it’s definately an art to care for the beautiful plant.

Voted for my favorite Bonsai 🤍

Loving this new Ryan Bloom translation of The Complete Notebooks — and I did notice Nostr translation (amazing)

I can’t stop thinking about this: “A seasoned trial lawyer, Mr. Pollack, 61, has had prominent clients involved in complicated international cases, including Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, who was accused by U.S. authorities of illegally disseminating information related to national security.”https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/world/americas/barry-pollack-maduro-lawyer-assange.html?unlocked_article_code=1.CVA.EAMN.qmPRNqIcB9Bz&smid=nytcore-ios-share

Thank you! Trying to find a saturated but healthy balance of expression between all of my social media accounts. Keep me posted on that new translation when it arrives!

“Very controlled and intelligent her voice now, controlled and intent, and her eyes still glittering. Yes you do, she says. You've fallen in love with someone, and you're afraid. T's the usual thing, you don't like being vulnerable. And I suppose on top of that, she's not a very suitable person. She has no money, and she puts up these pictures online, maybe you think people are laughing at you. And you're looking back on how things were when you and I were together, how easy everything was, and everyone was jealous of us, and you just want that back again. For life to be easy. What happened between us the other day, I can see now, you did that because you wanted an exit strat-egy. Maybe not consciously, I don't know, but in the back of your mind. You were looking for a way out with Naomi.”

An alluring Irish voice narrates the audible — just saying. I read it last year— love rereading & listening. It’s about 2 brothers and the women they love. One brother is a chess genius who falls in love for the first time and his older lawyer brother who loves a college student and his ex girlfriend at the same time— his ex can’t be intimate in certain ways anymore due to a terrible accident.

These kind of statements don’t work— lol

Hello! It’s been a minute ☺️ This sounds thrilling— my book list is long as always but I will make a note of this title.
