The Cold Wave continues ...
The wind is biting cold this morning, the moment of sunshine just enough to give some the background to the photos. Fingers freezing on the camera ! Then back to gray in gray, buzzing wind and blizzard-like snowflakes whirling around the valley.
. . . Arctic Touch, beginning on Tuesday ...

poetic morning
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
A teacher who can arouse a feeling
for one single good action,
for one single good poem,
accomplishes more than he or she
who fills our memory
with rows on rows of natural objects,
classified with name and form.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
morning snowfall -
the pink sky so vague
over the pines
This morning is rather poetic ...
and cold ... brrrr

一茶と世界の仲間達
2008年2月4日(月) ～ 2月19日(火)
一茶は生涯2300句の俳句を作った。その内8000句を米国ザビエル大学のダビット教授が英訳し、インターネットで配信している。
一茶は江戸時代の人、風俗習慣が大分違う。まして外国人には判り難い。そこで私は句に絵をつけてブログに載せた。
一茶とダビットと私、三人はイメージを共有出来、伝わり易くなった。 一茶の句は、思いやりと人間の赤裸々な声が溢れている。時代を超え、国を越えて愛されている。
そんな一茶を愛する世界の仲間が作品を寄せてくれた。

Salt and Happiness
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Salt and Happiness
An aging Hindu master grew tired of his apprentice complaining, and so, one morning, sent him for some salt. When the apprentice returned, the master instructed the unhappy young man to put a handful of salt in a glass of water and then to drink it.
"How does it taste?" the master asked.
"Bitter," spit the apprentice.
The master chuckled and then asked the young man to take the same handful of salt and put it in the lake. The two walked in silence to the nearby lake, and once the apprentice swirled his handful of salt in the water, the old man said, "Now drink from the lake."
As the water dripped down the young man's chin, the master asked, "How does it taste?"
"Fresh," remarked the apprentice.
"Do you taste the salt?" asked the master.
"No," said the young man.
At this, the master sat beside this serious young man who so reminded him of himself and took his hands, offering, "The pain of life is pure salt; no more, no less. The amount of pain in life remains the same, exactly the same. But the amount of bitterness we taste depends on the container we put the pain in. So when you are in pain, the only thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of things. . . .
Stop being a glass. Become a lake."

small things
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
To live with a high degree of artfulness
means to attend to the small things
that keep the soul engaged
in whatever we are doing.
Thomas Moore
sounds like a good recipe for haiku too!

risk management
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
At the moment I am working at a rather difficult scientific translation from Japanese to German, about Bioethics, Science Communication and Risk Management in Medicine and Environment.
This morning I had to smile ...
risk management -
shall I shovel snow
or wait for the sunshine ?
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
For those who doubt this is a haiku, check the kigo
shoveling snow
.................................................. But here is a senryu
risk management -
shall I call this HAIKU
or SENRYU ? ??
My take on the discussion :
Haiku, Senryu, Zappai (俳句, 川柳, 雑俳)
