  1. La hierba crece sola... me gusta este carácter... es como las hojas, como las agujas... qué hermoso poder oír el sonido de la hierba... uno con ella...
    Un abrazo

    The grass grows by itself ... I like this character ... is like the leaves, and needles ... How wonderful to hear the sound of the grass ... one with it ...
    A hug

  3. It is remarkable Ruma how your beautiful calligraphy mirrors the beauty in the trees in your post above. I love the immediacy and movement here. "sound of the grass..." I love this and it brings to mind the sounds of the grass along the shores on Cape Cod... or my tall Miscanthus ... I enjoy standing beneath it in the wind... like wind chimes. ;>) Carol

  6. I can rarely guess the regular version from cursive one. Are there any basic principles behind the cursive forms?
