Takahama: The winds that blows

The human condition desires control. Control of our circumstances, our environment, yet very little of ourselves. Takahama's haiku challenges us to embrace change.

Takahama: The winds that blows

The winds that blows –
ask them, which leaf on the tree
will be next to go.

— Kyoshi Takahama

The human condition desires control. Control of our circumstances, our environment, yet very little of ourselves. Takahama's haiku points to a universal randomness, and challenges us to embrace change.
