The individual is the great mystery. See “Faith and Reason in Continental and Japanese Philosophy: Reading Tanabe Hajime and William Desmond” by Takeshi Morisato (Bloomsbury, 2019).
The silent reader
leaning over her book in
the noisy cafe.
The TV. Locals
catching up. Old men acting
young. Then there’s her space.
She starts, looks at her
watch, and packs up. Home, office:
this place is heaven.
