Reseña del libro "100 Haiku Book Two: Inspired by the Mind Training of A Course in Miracles (en Inglés)"
Much to my surprise, I recently began composing Haiku, again. It all starts with an image catching my attention. I walk into our living room, look up at a sky-light picturing the blue sky, and this line comes to mind: Skylight, pale blue sky Then, I look again, and marvel at the clouds: wispy, cottony clouds pass And, then, this line comes: moving so swiftly Skylight, pale blue sky wispy, cottony clouds pass moving so swiftly Now, I remember that "compose" comes from the Latin, comonere, meaning "to put in place;" indeed, to put 17 syllables into place, 5-7-5. And, then I walk into our Sun Room, and this one comes to mind when I see our glass angel hanging in the window reflecting light. Wings of glass angel hanging in Eastern window catching morning sun It is like an image sparks thoughts from out of time, and I am receptive as they come flowing in. I am inspired. "Inspire" comes from the Latin, spirare, meaning "breath;" I am aware of breathing in the breath of God, the Holy Spirit. I love the phrase, "wild exactitude" because it is wild to walk through time and space and be inspired to render an out of time experience, exactly. Try to think of light, formless and without limit, as you pass by the thoughts of this world. (L44.10) Insertion of light five-seven-five syllables wild exactitude I am so grateful for my friends, the great photographers, Leda and Theo: Leda and Theo masters of photography match Haiku/photos
