COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.
— Albert Schweitzer

BASHO Haiku

    No one travels
    Along this way but I,
    This autumn evening.

    In all the rains of May
    there is one thing not hidden -
    the bridge at Seta Bay.

    The years first day
    thoughts and loneliness;
    the autumn dusk is here.

    Clouds appear
    and bring to men a chance to rest
    from looking at the moon.

    Harvest moon:
    around the pond I wander
    and the night is gone.
