At the heart of nature haiku is a deep feeling of beauty.
The wish to live and experience this beauty and wonder
is visible in all living entities. In sharing this beauty,
we experience enlivenment-The deep meaning of life.
Nature throbs with the desire to live. Haiku captures
this beauty and sense of adventurous enlightenment,
luring us toward more meaningful lives.
I bring a flower
The prettiest I could find
Give kindness to all
In a world divided and plagued by violence, haiku can offer a refuge and hope of healing head and heart. Using insightful images from science, the humanities, and nature enables one to see with new eyes and hear heart songs from unknown realms that sing our soul awake. This is the real value of these simple three-line verses that use provocative, colorful nature images. They bring to the reader a surprising sense of enlightenment. It is in this aha moment that Divine revelation occurs from unknown realms. The haiku moves beyond time and space, beyond transitory and frail life, into peaceful Zen transcendence, filled with tenderness. We may not know where we are going, but we feel a new way has been opened, and God is in that Way, that Zen moment, revealing beauty, wonder, truth, goodness, kindness, and peace-What life is about.
