Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
After a journey through the Divine Tarot we are now welcoming the last Carpe Diem Special written by Kyoshi Takahama for this month. After this day we have still two days to go which will be in some way connected with the Tarot, but first this nice haiku written by Kyoshi for your inspiration.
me tsumureba wakaki ware ari haru no yoi
shutting my eyes
I find a young me found
in the Spring evening
A wonderful haiku, full of Zen I think. We all do this once or more in our lives ... looking back, e.g. as I did back in April's Carpe Diem month. I think everyone has sometimes the need for looking back and ... there's nothing wrong with.

Kyoshi sees himself as a youngster, maybe he was lost that Spring evening and his parents were seeking him. Finally they found him ... what a joy his parents have found him. Feels like the parable of the Lost Son.
His parents were glad that they found him back and celebrated it.
in my dreams
I see myself in classic Japan
clothed like Basho
clothed like Basho
I go on a trip to the Far North
in my dreams
Well ... I hope this haiku by Kyoshi will inspire you all to write haiku in the same tone, sense and Spirit as the one by Kyoshi. Have fun and share.
This Special will stay on 'til May 30th 11.59 AM (CET) and I will post our next episode, Divination, later on today around 10.00 PM (CET).
