“Singing a silent song, in a pantomime like dance, light moves freely touching me all over. Tickling the surface of the leaves, penetrating, warming the depths of the earth and my being, light paints its way through nature.” (From the Introduction)
“Having lived in Japan for 40 years I feel I know it well. I often wonder if certain of my haiku will only have meaning for Japanese readers and people familiar with Japanese culture? Does it have international appeal to bridge cultures? More importantly, can a traditional short three line haiku (with or without a kigo seasonal word) have universal meaning and share something special with the world?” (From the Endnote)
