. my QUOTES with HAIKU .


:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


Every thing or living being that exists in this world,
be it trees, flowers, birds,
grasses, rocks, soil of the earth,
or human beings,
has its unique manner of existence -
its essence, its spirit that makes it what it is.
That is what is meant by connectedness.

-- Larry P. Aitken, CHIPPEWA

Scientists are finally realizing what the Elders have taught for thousands of years - everything is connected. Because everything is interconnected, whatever you do to any one thing, you do to everything. If you poison any part of the earth, the poison eventually affects everything else.
If you poison the plants, the birds will eat the plants, which poisons the birds. The birds are eaten by humans which poisons the humans. The humans will have babies who could be deformed because the plants were poisoned. We must learn to live in harmony with the earth. We must learn to think good things.

Every good thought is felt by everything, which causes everything to be happy.




Let us write Happy Haiku Today!

One does not need to fast for days
and meditate for hours at a time
to experience the sense of sublime mystery
which constantly envelops us.

All one need do is to notice intelligently,
if even for a brief moment,
a blossoming tree,
a forest flooded with autumn colors,
an infant smiling.

Simon Greenberg



to notice intelligently
to notice more intelligently
to notice a haiku

Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing,
taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes,
and having fun.

If we could see the miracle
of a single flower clearly,
our whole life would change.

the Buddha


The moment one gives close attention
to anything, even a blade of grass,
it becomes a mysterious, awesome,
indescribably magnificent world in itself.

Henry Miller



a single flower
a blade of grass -
a haiku day

We must learn that we cannot be loved by all people.
That is the ideal.
In the world of people, it is not often found.
We can be the finest plum in the world,
ripe, juicy, sweet, succulent and offer ourselves to all.

But we must remember
that there will be people who do not like plums.
