The purpose of my collection is to try to do the same, while evoking a strong emotional response and proposing a subject for meditation. While knowing that my love of nature is intense, I still know that I do not own the tree I planted. There is an old Chinese proverb that exhorts us to keep that green tree in out hearts, and maybe a songbird will come along. Not being attached to the outcome of our wishes often engenders great peace. A sense of detachment guarantees serenity and reading Haiku brings the opportunity for such a healthy quietude. No one has everything, everyone has something, sometimes something is nothing, having nothing, needing nothing, wanting nothing, is blessed peace. I hope you enjoy book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45145479446679,"sku":"9780595450558","price":649.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780595450558.webp?v=1767287271","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-string-of-pearls-a-collection-of-american-haiku-9780595450558","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
