Hello, Lee. Being one of the not very savvy, I wasn't aware that the abandonment of punctuation was considered a virtue among current practitioners of this form in English. Obviously Rhina is among the savvy in this regard. I'm not persuaded at present that it's a good idea. What's the harm in following the forms of our language? It seems to me that the images and their relaionship are the essence of the tradition, and that insight into Zen Buddhism might be the most valuable resource for recreating the sensibility of the form in English.
