    About this ebook

    This book of 156 haiku is not one of those books, not verbal snapshots of Japanese seasons and Mt. Fuji nor of daffodils, butterflies, maple leaves, or snowflakes. The 156 haiku in this book are extruded from personal experiences, encounters with physics, with politics, with marriages, with travel in far places, and with life in general. They are grain-of-sand sized myths, the kind of myths distilled from a lifetime of experiences sharpened and honed by the whetstone of a lived life. May they resonate with your life as well.
