Thanks everybody for the nice comments! I love hearing from folks, sorry I don't get enough time to thank everybody. Matthew asked, what is iki? well. glad you asked. This is a Japanese word and word fragment that can mean several different things. I am still trying to find a good translation for it. "iki-iki" means cool or chic...but my interest in iki comes from words like "ikigai" (meaning "reason for living"); "ikimono" (meaning "animal"); "ikimasu" (meaning "to go"). to me, iki connotes breath/drive/the spark in every living thing. That which animates you. thanks so much to everybody for visiting. take care. -Suzy http://id.sito.org/sdr/
