Frogs and Truth

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

searching for TRUTH -
the frogs are quacking
louder tonight

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

This haiku is pure SHASEI, sketching from nature.

I was working all day on the entry about . "Worldly Desires and Haiku" . , with a lot of email clutter going back and forth through the world.

Then in the evening, after a sunny day within the rainy season, all these frogs in our wet rice paddies started quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaking.

TRUTH

Gandhiji said that for him TRUTH meant a light.
To some others it may mean a force or a philosophy of life.

Like Keats had expressed most profoundly:

"Truth is beauty
and beauty is truth."

to understand the koan
squirrel on the lawn

Hi Gabi.

Best, Bill
