Making the most of its shadowy day. It is a magical place because it is not divided. It is not to give the possessors vegetables and fruit that can be better and cheaper done by the market-gardeners , but to teach him patience and philosophy, and the higher virtues - hope deferred, and expectations blighted, leading directly to resignation, and sometimes to alienation. Designed to bridge borders, gardens shed light on the historical reality of their creation and creators.
Like all Utopias, they criticize a concrete political situation, social relationships, constrains and shortcomings. Memories forever rooted in time were clustered in my garden consciousness like potatoes, waiting, crying to be dug up. I plant flowers and vegetables. I harvest memories - and life. Jordan, Some little sounds, and scents, and scenes A small hand darting strawberry-ward A woman's aprons full of greens.
The sense that we have brought to birth Out of the cold and heavy soil, The blessed fruits and flowers of earth Is large reward for our toil. In our effort to improve on nature, we are guided by a vision of paradise. Whether the result is a horticultural masterpiece or only a modest vegetable patch, it is based on the expectation of a glorious future.
This hope for the future is at the heart of all gardening.

It gave me a calm connection with all of life, and an awareness that remains with me now, long after leaving the garden. May we take fine care of the places where they grow. Earth won't have to shake and flood and burn so fiercely then. The world will be more wide-awake and tuneful, a place where children - all beings - can bloom. To the Flowers. Gardening boring? It has surprise, tragedy, startling developments - a soap opera growing out of the ground.
I'd forgotten that tremolo of expectation produced by a tiny forest of sprouts. Different countries breed different gardeners. Our choices therefore lie not in whether but in how we manage the land. We would all agree that we must do it in an ecologically responsible way. A more beautiful world, purer, sweeter smelling and more colorful. A garden is probably the spot where the hopes for civilization are best captured. In fact, man defines himself by his garden. Wilson, Consilience. There are only gardeners and non-gardeners. Gardeners are the ones who ruin after ruin get on with the high defiance of nature herself, creating, in the very face of her chaos and tornado, the bower of roses and the pride of irises.
It sounds very well to garden a 'natural way'. You may see the natural way in any desert, any swamp, any leech-filled laurel hell. Defiance, on the other hand, is what makes gardeners. It is a place of life, a mystery of green moving to the pulse of the year, and pressing on and pausing the whole to its own inherent rhythms. This is to have succeeded.
He enters into death yearly, and comes back rejoicing. He has seen the light lie down in the dung heap, and rise again in the corn. It has a positive side. That is, gardening is "praxis".
Haiku Notes
But green fingers are the extensions of a verdant heart. All trade rests at last on his primitive activity. He stands close to Nature; he obtains from the earth the bread and the meat. The food which was not, he causes to be. In creating a garden, we not only open a door to Nature but to an ideal space, one we can control and order. You never know what you may be aiding to grow in it. With a little more exposure to light, you feel part of things physically. I like feeling the power of light and space physically because then you can order it materially.
It evoked that. Our growth as conscious, awake human beings is marked not so much by grand gestures and visible renunciations as by extending loving attention to the minutest particulars of our lives. Every relationship, every thought, every gesture is blessed with meaning through the wholehearted attention we bring to it. In the complexities of our minds and lives we easily forget the power of attention, yet without attention we live only on the surface of existence.
It is just simple attention that allows us truly to listen to the song of a bird, to see deeply the glory of an autumn leaf, to touch the heart of another and be touched. We need to be fully present in order to love a single thing wholeheartedly. We need to be fully awake in this moment if we are to receive and respond to the learning inherent in it. The sacred lies in the ordinary. Cloud Hands Blog. Green Way Research Index. Oh, cover thy pale feet!
And the single string of the sea trumpets English translation by William Meridith. Emmanuel Lochac published in 'one-liners' under the title 'Monostiches'.

Henderson Haiku Awards Monoku sometimes contains pause like kireji of traditional Japanese haiku. Monoku represents one image, but there are more to visualise in the poetry. When the poem is short, the reader must be able to understand the silence Edgar Allen Poe. It is interesting to observe the wordplay in writing monoku. The one-liner can be arranged in such a way, it depicts more than one sections or multiple ways of reading with syntactical variations.
Sometimes, the multi images can be expressed forthwith in a single flow. The monoku, at times, appear a bit complex and the reader is to correlate the images to bring out the essence in the realm of the poetic puzzle. One has to link the silence in between to visualize the narration of word-image. There is an element of subtle juxtaposition and poetic shift to create a literary vibration amongst readers to search the composite interpretation by jigsaw puzzling the words. Techniques are often laid down in literature to differentiate the different genres. However, a strict rule in any art or literature form suppresses the intent of creativeness.

Higginson, Jim Kacian, Alan Summers, Jacob Salzer and others broadly dealt the techniques and styles of monoku expression. Two fragments or part of sentence can be artfully merged to resonate into a single line. In monoku, the concept of juxtaposition as in case of 3-line, appears to be soft or non-requirement.

Bostok in Amongst the Graffiti , Abruptive Techniques, as suggested by Alan Summers, is a term for sharp changes in directing the reader. Or does it do something different to the technique of juxtaposing imagery? I once was this stone home for another , Bones - journal for contemporary haiku no. It allows, unlike three-line pattern, to be expressed all in one-breath.
One-line Haiku with Classic Multiple Meanings: Probably this style embodies the surrealistic beauty of monoku writing. It is written in such an artistic way, it exhibits different meanings when read in different ways. This is perhaps the unique in one-line writing with liberty of white space a reader can put more than once to evolve different interpretations by switching the different syntactic elements.
