HNA 2013: Intervals


            INTERVALS


                        The journey to full moon,       
                                at the full moon's         
                                rising, the silver-plumed         
                                reeds tremble               
                                        Masoaka Shiki (tr. Janine Beichman) 

                        the timespan of high to low tide,       
                                their colorful umbrellas        
                                fluttering...        
                                low tide               
                                        Kobayashi Issa (tr. David G. Lanoue)

                        the lull from one wave to the next,       
                                  The spring sea rising         
                                and falling, rising         
                                  and falling all day               
                                        Yosa Buson (tr. Robert Hass)

                        the pause between breaths.       
                                Orchid - breathing        
                                incense into         
                                butterfly's wings.               
                                        Matsuo Basho (tr. Lucien Stryk)

                        INTERVALS - the spaces in-between, where humanity slows, observes, absorbs;
                        there, where connection is made through our senses, sensibilities, intuitive nature.
