The following haikus are embedded in the blog one comes to this place, posted on the same day…
 
 
 
nature is a geisha: haikus on self and freedom 



 
1
lonely, away from the world
one thought to venture further
and walked a narrow path…
 
 
2
one meets nature a geisha
who smiles and plays
and awakens one’s senses…
 
 
 
3
nature-geisha’s art
clears one’s thoughts,
and the gathered mind-dust  
 
 
4
one sees: original self
not defined, not conditioned
but corrupt by one’s world…
 
 
 
5
without self
without conditioning
all agitated forces stilled…
 
 
 
6
we have loved freely
without formalities
without rigidity of spouses

 
 


 
7
one sees freedom;
one sees spontaneity:
how one can love again one’s spouse?
