“Writing
a book such as hearttalk
is like picking up lovely shells from the
beach. You fill the buckets and walk back
to your house satisfied not one shell had
been missed. The next morning the tide brings
more shells onto the beach. My quest for
jai phrases has been such a journey.”
“I
have a feeling, one of dread, that while
I have found many of the central jai
phrases, there will always be omissions.
But for the moment, I have swept the beach
as clean as I can and offer up these beautiful
shells of a beautiful language.”
