About Spiritual Comfort

This is a micro-hypertext with fourteen nodes, based on a kanji-ku (haiku placed on an ideogram).

Simply "slide" your mouse on the kanji for oni (devil, spirit, ghost), and watch the words change and coalesce. You can also click on any underlined word to begin. (To get to these links on the right-hand side of the screen, hold the mouse button down while you move the mouse. This will prevent new text from being loaded as you move the mouse pointer over the image.)

Please be patient while the java applet loads--this takes about a minute on a 28.8 K modem. (Which is probably just enough time to wonder where your old bones are.)
