380. seeing

day after day
traveling the same old path
a new unveiling



(The haiku scholar and poet, Buson: “You must look down at your feet and write about what you see there—the grass, the flowers in bloom. Take your materials from what is around you…the materials for poetry are all about you in profusion.” And here I might say: The materials for discovery and enjoyment are all around you, if you would only open your eyes and heart to see.)
