Haiku, the Japanese form of poetry written in just three lines, can
be miraculous in its power to articulate the profundity of the
simplest moment - and for that reason haiku can be a useful tool
for bringing us to a heightened awareness of our lives. Here, the
poet Patricia Donegan shares her experience of the haiku form as a
way of insight that anyone can use to slow down and uncover the
beauty of ordinary moments. She presents 108 haiku poems - on
themes such as honesty, transience, and compassion - and offers
commentary on each as an impetus to meditation and as a key to
unlocking the wonder in what we find right before us. Pausing
pausing/halfway up the stair - white chrysanthemums - Elizabeth S.
Lamb. This haiku epitomizes a moment that we naturally have or that
occurs naturally but that we often hurry or gloss over. 'Haiku
awareness is a way to tune into this fleeting moment and merely
appreciate what is right in front of us; in the midst of our daily
life activities, the possibility to slow down, to stop, and then to
appreciate naturally unfolds. For a fleeting moment we simply pause
and note the sunlight on the sheets as we make the bed, note the
warm sun on our cup as we sip tea, or note the fading light on the
curtain as we enter the room. And we let out a breath or sigh' -
from "Haiku Mind".
