a quote . . .

The sun shines, snow falls, mountains rise and valleys sink,
night deepens and pales into day, but it is only very seldom
that we attend to such things ... When we are grasping the
inexpressible meaning of these things, this is life, this is living.
To do this twenty-four hours a day is the Way of Haiku.
It is having life more abundantly. – R.H. Blyth

a quote . . .

"The object of our lives is to look at, listen to, touch, taste things. Without them, -these sticks, stones, feathers, shells,- there is no Diety" -- R.H. Blyth

a qoute . . .

"These are some of the characteristics of the state of mind which the creation and appreciation of haiku demand : Selflessness, Loneliness, Grateful Acceptance, Worldlessness, Non-intellectuality, Contradictoriness, Humor, Freedom, Non-morality, Simplicity, Materiality, Love, and Courage." -- R.H. Blyth
