Koyakashi Issa (1763-1827), a well-known haiku master, wrote this wonderful poem that I have quoted many times:
Under this bright moon
I sit like an old buddha
knees spread wide
Thank you for joining me under this full moon!
Welcome to my personal peace project that is open to everyone! In this space of our beautiful planet, I am practicing to live every moment with the energy of mindfulness -- to remember to look deeply into all things. May every thought, action, all arts and crafts, every spoken and written word be stepping stones toward peace. Would you care to join me?
