Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Welcome at a new episode of our Tan Renga Challenge Month. Today I have a nice "hokku" by Hando (penname of Thomas Hand), who was in our history once a featured haiku poet. It wasn't an easy task to find haiku by him, but I had the luck that I have done a few episodes about him somewhere in our CDHK history from which I could choose.
Here is the "hokku":
listening with another
to the music of the mountain stream
here is no other

And here is my response on this beautiful "hokku" by Hando:
listening with another
to the music of the mountain stream
here is no other (Hando)
to the music of the mountain stream
here is no other (Hando)
the silence becomes deeper
only the rustling of leaves (Chèvrefeuille)
only the rustling of leaves (Chèvrefeuille)
Awesome ... a wonderful place to meditate I would say. A place to try the Latifa Prayer meditaion maybe?
This episode is open for your submissions tonight at 7.00 PM (CET) and will remain open until May 25th at noon (CET). I have published our new "hokku" on our Twitter account. Have fun!
