A TREELEAF EXPERIMENT: Three Sacred Sentences (Please Join Poll)

[Amelia]

Kotei,

As Jundo said, if three sentences isn't enough to properly express what you would really like to say, you can add a couple more if you feel it is important.

I am going to extend the experiment a couple of more weeks, see if it might be a good feature to keep.

Please try to focus on three sentences to say what needs to be said ...

... but you do not have to limit yourself if you really, really need to say more.

I respectfully wish to express my dislike of this new 3 sentence experiment. Not that I object to succinct, cohesive, coherent and pithy speech. But I am living in the U.S. under an enormous burden of restrictions (life saving they may be); maybe this one is one too many?
sorry.

No need to be sorry. Zen is all about dropping preferences. So this sounds like a great opportunity for more practice [emoji12]

Mostly missing the mark.
Its frustrating, When writing 5-7-5 haiku.
But hitting the target is a joyful occasion .

Like wearing a mask ... it keeps our "hot air" from reaching others.

I like the three sentences. But then my natural tendency is to speak very little. If necessary, William Faulkner taught us that a single sentence can be very long, if you keep adding dependent clauses, which can be kind of a fun exercise, as long as one keeps in mind that such sentences, like the works of Faulkner himself, can be very challenging to read, though not the less valuable for the challenge, unless, like me, you're just going on and on and on keeping the letter of the 3 sentence law while violating its spirit.

As an expert adherent to three sentence clause a couple of questions have come to mind: 1. is there a rollover sentence clause such that if I don't post for a couple days maybe I get 12 sentences? or 2. will this be the 11th precept?

The answer is no roll-overs and yes, you will be reborn as an earthworm if you don't.

Ah! I see what you did there. Earthworms don't have fingers to type with...
