- Something About Me and My Book:
- I am a musician and poet. I have concentrated most of my recent life/love/efforts on the discipline and study of haiku, a dedicated process which began for me some forty years ago -
So, naturally my new book: "wind in the pages: haiku" is dedicated to those observations and inspiration which so totally absorbs -

What is haiku? This is a highly debated question among the world's haigin (haiku poets) - I suggest/offer some ideas -
Haiku is a clear-eyed compositional meditative state, and a way of life which needs no distracting bejeweled finger pointing to the moon, in order to better see the moon (to borrow and twist a famous metaphor). Inspiration is everywhere; always available; totally accessible! A little reach and there it is. If we learn how to look we may see ... if how to see ... we become visionary ... if we are visionaries ... well .... so forth and so on -
The character of every experience can be seen in all manner of manifestations, the blue in the sky; the deep of an ocean; the temporary-permanence of a cloud-shape; from the endlessly vast vacuum of outer space and the profoundly still silence of the inner-mind, to the minuscule jittery-twitchings of an ant's antennae, it is, after all, the immediacy of the moment that gives us a deeper sense of life…particularly if we allow room for our own nurturing nature to evolve and grow.
A willingness to embrace this awareness enhances and highlights our abilities to perceive, appreciate, and flesh-out our own uniquely distinctive surroundings in remarkable ways, ways in which we might not have otherwise permitted nor remotely considered.
To penetrate beyond the walls of our insular selves and fully explore the world as it is, invigorated, invites us to collaborate in its artistry... as we will have learned how to poignantly feel an infinite truth resonating in a single flash of intuitive insight. There is no such thing as a "second time" experience. And this is haiku!
