RE: [xmca] Polymathicus on perezhivanie

The one discrepancy between most of my reading and what Dot's contributed is
Dot's grounding of the term in some sort of trauma. She included, for
instance, something from http://www.webaby-corp.com/home_zen_fire_tale.htm
This is actually a very unusual site. Webaby-corp.com is a software company,
and their home page includes a link to
http://www.webaby-corp.com/skomoroh_hut.htm. I couldn't find an explanation
for why this section appears, but it's an anonymously authored set of
"tales" including the zen fire tale at Dot's link, which includes attention
to perezhivanie as quoted in Dot's post. Here, overcoming pain or trauma is
a central aspect of perezhivanie; yet this dimension does not appear in
other writing I've come across. Any thoughts on this, especially if you are
fluent in Russian and can help unpack the term and its component parts?
Thanks,Peter

What an enchanting blog. It even helped us Anglophones de-compose the word.
