so glad you enjoyed it! (me too!) here's a neat picture: a National Geographic photography spread - includes a photo of the trail that Zen haiku poet Basho took around Japan... http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2008/02/bashos-trail/yamashita-photography

Jon, this is so cool! Reading down the page is a meditation in itself. Thanks for this. In a way, it makes me think of the film 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould.

Thought folks might get a kick out of this website: http://www.bopsecrets.org/gateway/passages/basho-frog.htm It has 31 different translations of one of Basho's haikus. The range is so big, between the various pieces...you can hardly recognize them as being the same poem. I guess the only way to truly tell is study Japanese! take care, Jon
