thoughts on Basho

I found the Basho piece profoundly moving in its simplicity and eloquence. Travels in haiku, and the celebration of life and nature intertwined. Our modern world knows no such appreciation. We walk little, drive more and now do so with GPS on our dashboards. We don't get lost - we don't "have time" to notice a piece of butterfly wing or a bee's hesitation to leave a flower. The idea of wandering with purpose and truly open heart and eyes is quite foreign to our modern experiences. So I loved this piece - loved it for taking me on a journey to a simpler, yet in some ways, more profound time.
