Have you lot ever had an inexplicable affinity for something completely exterior your upbringing? I'd similar to intend these are a lawsuit of influences from past times lives.
Priest, Jew together with Japanese Poet
Being inwards a Catholic church building makes me experience every bit if I accept a psychic connectedness amongst the priest...as if I'm standing inwards his shoes, experiencing each purpose of the majority every bit if I've delivered it hundreds of times inwards the past. I tin post away experience the pinch of his dark leather shoes together with the demand to adapt the sleeve of the Chasuble every bit I pour the vino together with H2O to laid upwards the sacraments. As a individual who was raised Catholic, this mightiness hold out natural, together with nix to do amongst reincarnation, but it feels similar to a greater extent than than that.The showtime fourth dimension I ever participated inwards a Seder dinner amongst Jewish friends of mine, it was similar a tradition I had celebrated for decades. It was comforting, it was fun...it felt completely natural. There are times inwards my life when I experience I must accept been raised Jewish inwards at to the lowest degree 1 prior life.
And at nowadays I'm for sure that I must accept been an exceptionally talented Japanese poet inwards unopen to recent past times life. The same reverence I accept experienced inwards church building together with when thinking nearly Jewish traditions, I at nowadays experience when I read or write Haiku. In the past, when I accept been asked to write Haiku inwards schoolhouse or at the asking of a social media friend, at that spot was an immediate sense of stillness together with sacred training of my heed that happened...completely unexpectedly...and I carefully crafted the words amongst the exact correct residue of earnestness together with wit. It was similar an human activeness of love.
And then, a friend of mine gave me this:
Haiku Fuck You past times Josh Myers (The Haiku Champ) is an amazing compilation of awesomeness. The showtime lawsuit I read straight off cemented my honey for this book:

Like, I'm actually practiced at this.
Look how practiced I am.
I come upwards to notice out that Josh lives nearby together with plant at the local bookstore (Farley's Bookshop...which is fucking awesome) together with he likewise seems to run a micro press concern amongst a friend named Joe Bouthiette, thus I'm enjoying his vivid work...especially where he uses my name:

Now I wrote sixteen.
Clearly 1 of my past times lives I was a dock worker or someone else amongst a potty mouth. It inspired me:
The Haiku Champ Is Sublime
This volume is perfect.
I volition cherish it always.
I fucking honey it.

My 59th birthday is this Wednesday. Instead of obligatory birthday greetings on my Facebook timeline...or fifty-fifty worse, begging for coin for charity instead of birthday wishes...please experience costless to write me a birthday Haiku...either inwards comments, or on my Facebook timeline.Current Knitting
