Healing Words 4.17.2018

Today is National Haiku Day. Haiku poetry has had a special place in my heart ever since I took a class called Global Haiku Tradition in college. In that class I learned how a few short lines can convey the same thing as a thousand words. 

This haiku by Japanese haiku master Kobayashi Issa speaks to the mystery of life and the beauty of a single moment. It's about being grateful to be alive and aware of the beauty all around you.
