Do not simply follow the footsteps of your ancestors.
Search for what they sought.

Matsuo Basho (1644-1694)

The important thing is to keep our mind elusive,
in the world of true perception
and returning
to the world of our everyday experience,
inside it,
to seek the truth of beauty.
Regardless of what we can do at any moment,
we must not forget that everything has
a direct relationship
with our eternal self,
which is poetry.

Matsuo Basho (1644-1694)

Haiku is the moment
that is not a moment
It is the little that is not little
It is the little that does not exist more

Tasos Aristotelous
