The whole world is you,
yet you keep thinking
there is something else.~Hsueh Feng

“And you should not let yourself be confused in your solitude by the fact there is something in you that wants to break out of it.”
~Trans: M. D. Heater Norton (Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet)

To a melody of prayer
disappears the moon–
my place of rest. ~Hakuni*

an early spring –
sent back into seclusion
by morning snow
~Socho (S Carter, Haiku before Haiku)

For a heart serene
there is no scattering
of blossoms.
~Satomura Joha (S Carter, Haiku before Haiku)
