Window Thinking

On Haiku as Contemplative Practice

October 8, 2018 by Jennifer

Poet and Peacemaker John Paul Lederach at the 2018 On Being Gathering: the seeking of the haiku attitude; that is, to prepare yourself to be touched by beauty, the noticing of the haiku moment that is the aha when the world is revealed for what it is — and that simple form, that five-seven-five that was landed on and experienced because it could be said in a single breath. So I started writing haiku, and I never stopped — finger-tapping choreography of life.

Prepare yourself to be touched by beauty.
