Reflections

Writing haiku is a process of distillation applied to facets of our experiential consciousness and to the words that name them.  The production of the volatile distillate is brought about by combining things, be they words, sights, sounds, images, thoughts, memories, feelings, emotions, experiences, imaginings, dreams, visions and all those other things that our psyches assimilate.  Needless to say, my appreciation of haiku has run concurrent with my deepening appreciation of good Islay single malt whisky.
