" Love 
is the great 
miracle cure. 
Loving ourselves 
works miracles 
in our lives. "

Louise Hay

" So much has been said 
and sung of 
beautiful young girls, 
why doesn't somebody 
wake up 
to the beauty 
of old women? "


Harriet Beecher Stowe

Rashomon Effect Ghost Series

A    L    O    H    A  !

" A butterfly fluttered its wings 

in a wind thick 

with the smell of seaweed. 

His dry lips

 felt the touch of 

the butterfly 

for the briefest instant,

 yet 

the wisp of wing dust 

still shone 

on his lips 

years 

later.   ” 

 Ryūnosuke Akutagawa

 “People used to say 

that on moonless nights

 Her Ladyship's broad-skirted scarlet trousers 

would glide eerily 

along the outdoor corridor,

 never touching the floor.” 

 Ryūnosuke Akutagawa

“Directly beneath 

the Lotus Pond of Paradise 

lay the lower depths of Hell, 

and as He peered 

through the crystalline waters, 

He could see the 

River of Three Crossings 

and the Mountain of Needles 

as clearly as if 

He were viewing 

pictures in a peep-box.” 

Ryūnosuke Akutagawa 

" Priest:  I don't want to hear it.

 No more horror stories.

Commoner: They are common stories

 these days.

 I even heard that the demon 

living here in Rashômon 

fled in fear of

 the ferocity of man. "

Film RASHOMON [1950]

" The classic Kurosawa film 

deals with the nature of truth... 

how the same events

 can be viewed in completely

 different ways by different 

people with different 

backgrounds, expectations, 

and experiences. 

We Call it 

the Rashomon Effect. "

SUZAN HASKINS AND DAN PRESCHER
