Guest guest Posted January 1, 2001 Report Share Posted January 1, 2001 Thank you for sharing these great haiku with us, David, they are both beautiful and bring a smile. Shiki remains a poet favorite. I'm afraid to say your page loads slowly from here (Europe). Livejournal is a great place, a good friend of mine has a journal there too, which I've been reading. The community feeling of the Livejournal site is young and vital, is just great. I feel it is an experiment in the mass consciousness of the planet. Thank you again for sharing. Today is the 2 year celebration of HarshaSatsang. Happy birthday everyone. I also wish everyone and everywhere a happy and peaceful new year. In the eyes of harmony, which day of the year does not feel timeless in its freshness. Eternal spring time. Love, Amanda.
