  1. In Darkness
    Fortify
    your Outpost
    Draw your lines of
    Independence
    to live Sincere
    as a Person
    True to Oneself

    I lived in Japan for 30 years before noticing the word for fortress. It came to me through the writers of documentary literature. One (traitorous but functional) translation of a title could be:
    Darkness is Our Sanctuary
    but the more I think of it, these physically weak writers see their only chance to struggle is in the darkest depths of misery, vulnerability.
