Nice one Heiso! It's particularly warm here today, and the smell of our decaying garden beds is drifting through the house, so this resonated quite well with me.

Gassho,

Oh thanks, Rob.

It's damp and squelchy here, quite cold with the smell of bonfires in the air.

Congrats on the publication Kokuu! Those are such lovely Haiku. I particularly like the single line piece—well done!

Gassho,

I thought you might like that, Jundo! And thank you, Rob!

This one is for our new unsui, Kotei:

Thank you Kokuu.

Certain views of beautiful Japanese Gardens invoke a feeling of connectedness, of reaching somehow far beyond the surface.
Your Haiku, this one too, are doing the same to me.

Deep bows,
Kotei sat/lah today.

Soft light
Heat in November
Snap of chill,

Days shorten,
In triangle
Of light.

Coltrane's contribution
Never sought,
his not endured.

I’m not sure
How to proceed.

The longest night passed
While I sat by the fire
Learning to let go
