I feel [haiku] is a spiritual practice that is far more valuable than the poems we get out of it. The most important thing about haiku is the way it makes us look at our lives, to be aware of what we are experiencing at each moment. -- Jane Reichold

Haiku of Master Basho: Jane Reichhold

a quote . . .

The most important aspect of haiku is the way you must live in order to write haiku. If you live being aware of your senses, trusting them instead of your mind, being non-judgmental, being open to everything and everyone, reverent, accepting yourself and others as not perfect but just what is in this one precious moment of time and rejoicing in life and living it to the fullest – this is your poetry. – Jane Reichhold.
