Sunday savvy -
this circle that is earth
ours to stewardship

Earth Day marks its 43rd year today April 22. Forty-three years is nothing. The Earth has survived for 4.5 billion years. It’s handled countless asteroids, oxidizing bacteria, and climate-changing volcanoes. Trust me, the Earth is going to be fine. The real question is: are we? read more here

over her scars
each year a new dress...
Mother Earth
--Ana-Maria Trandafir, RO

Happy quotidian birthday to you, Mother Gaia!
One more trip around the Sun,
just a cosmic inch on the infinite spiral trek towards Vega.
And while you, heavenly pals, move, human life goes on
through perplexing moments of glory and misery.
--Franklin Magalhaes, BR

Hanagoromo / nuguya matuwaru / himo iroiro.
Unfastening the cords / Around my spring kimono / One by one
--Hisajo Sugita...This haiku appears in the essay 'Haiku: The Heart of Japan in 17 Syllables' read the essay


yesterday's rain
the mountains

on The Spirit of Haiku..."Composing a haiku means giving a voice to the “other” appearing before our eyes and taking a slice of Earth’s life. By so doing, we ourselves tap into the cosmic source of life and create a synchronicity and fraternity with other living beings. This is also a process of self-discovery, a journey to the depths of one’s own hearts. It is through the “other” that we discover things about ourselves. Basho used the phrase karo tosen to describe haiku. Karo means a brazier (stove) in the summer, and tosen is a fan in the winter. In other words, haiku may serve no practical use in our present reality but are nonetheless of great importance. People do not need haiku to live, nor will haiku fill hungry stomachs. But to lead a richer life, haiku—as well as other forms of culture and art—can be of paramount importance."
also from ' the essay Haiku: The Heart of Japan in 17 Syllables'
