CAPTURING A BRIEF MOMENT IN TIME OR A VIVID IMAGE WITH MINIMAL WORDS.

MOMENTS

HAIKU CARDS PART ONE

Here are some of the moments we shared during training at the dojo or workshops in the Rotorua Forest Camp.

In the garden, the drum

is waiting for the sun to rise.

"Miyake" cuts the silence.

A warm summer rain.

Over the "Rising Mountain"

It sounds just like drumming.

A journey begins Now.

The same song sounds differrent.

Times flies.

Forest in my hand, 

Air in my lungs,

Fire in my heart.

Still holding my ground.

A buzzing bee. No move;

my heart is beating fast.

Here comes the rhythm.

Nature awakens;

colours flourish in the air.

Lovely "Spring, Spring, Spring".

Am I ready yet?

I will never truly be.

So, let's go!

Don-tsuku, don-tsuku, 

don-tsuku, don.

3 times.

A still, calm ocean.

Deep down beneath the water,

"Raging Waves" are born.

This journey begins with one hit.

Other will follow.

Eventually.

The biggest drum in the sky

holds secret sounds.

Sunset.

Late in the night

the sound of drums and 

the joy of playing. Also sake.

The silence before the storm.

Shadow warrior awaits

the sound of the first thunder.

A warrior's challenge: powerful hits.

Nobody dies, still.

(apart from few bachis)

The path to the top of the Mountain is tough.

But we are making the journey,

With two sticks in our hands.

White and Blue

come together in the sky.

A Kumo Family.

THANK YOU.
