The luscious, sensual world

July 8, 2015 By Harriet Chessman 1 Comment

How do you slow down, and live in this crazy world?  I think poets of haiku for centuries have discovered ways of doing this.  One inspiration:  the glorious picture book by Tim Myers (illustrated by Oki S. Han), Basho and the Fox.

Here is Basho:

“With the scent of plums

on the mountain road — suddenly

sunrise comes!”

May your day be filled with the beauty of ordinary things!
