The Color of Longing is a book composed of original haiku that capture the traditional spirit of the form with a fresh energy and perspective. You will find they elaborate on the theme of longing and its many nuances. Haiku are swallows, dragonflies-changing directions in a flash. And when that happens, the world is illuminated. They surprise and delight and enable new ways of seeing, a shift in consciousness. Haiku are childlike. They look at the ordinary facts of life-a bird on a branch, sunlight on water- and bring to life the extraordinary quality of the living. In short, with just a few simple words, these haiku satisfy the longing in the human heart for beauty and connection. They bring us closer to the mysterious, yet palpable, sacredness of being that captures us in an instant.
