Cherry Blossoms in Brooklyn


"In the cherry blossom's shade
there no such thing
as a stranger."
-Kobayashi Issa

Every day I receive one of Issa's haiku, delivered straight to my email inbox. My morning starts off with reflection and a sense of tranquility, which doesn't last long, but at least it starts off that way. Because starting every day off in chaos might make me never get out of bed.
