The hundred secret senses

[rainsinger]

In religious and spiritual terms, when old and new worlds meet and the old world gets assimilated by the new some of it is still allowed to slip through the cracks. Through the folktales. Through traditions

Speaking of the Hundred Secret Senses, have you read the novel by that name written by Amy Tan?

[rainsinger]

Yes. :)
I rather like Amy Tan.

I've always loved her theme of Grandmother-Mother-Daughter =)

It helped me understand a lot about my maternal grandmother and my mother (even though I'm not my mother's daughter)...

[rainsinger]

Heh, me too. I found that strange intiially how much of its themes in Chinese culture could easily relate to Balkan ones.

I know it doesn't work this way, but you make it sound so cool that I really want a "thing" of my own now. :-) Don't worry, I'm sure I'll forget about it soon. (Though I never seem to completely forget...)

[rainsinger]

I think everyone can have a thing. :) It's just a matter of finding the thing that works for you...
