A book is not a message to grasp but an object to love. I love this new book of haiku and images and will be happy to be in its presence, touch it, and feast on it for many years. It is a perfect example of John Keats' idea of soul-making: transforming the everyday into beautiful and probing reflection. It is what Wallace Stevens called 'a mirror with a voice.'\"\" -- Thomas Moore, author of \u003ci\u003eCare of the Soul\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDark Nights of the Soul\u003c\/i\u003e \"\"This deeply human dialogue of haiku and commentary follows in the footsteps of Issa and Buson. Rosen and Weishaus express their psychological wisdom with lightness, humor, and a uniquely personal touch.

It enacts what it's about--a spiritual journey, a creative healing.\"\" --Edward Hirsch, author of \u003ci\u003eLay Back the Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWild Gratitude\u003c\/i\u003e \"\"To have one's soul evoked by reading, that in itself can be a scared act. To me, since forever, el libro es sancta: a book is blessed--for inside, there can be water glistening to moisten the parched throat, and a thunder of wings that can carry us to a homeplace where exists essential remembrance of 'what truly matters.' Haiku, to me, is the quintessential story form, one that like a twilight is meant to be walked through with care, so as to see and feel the clarity of things that cannot be seen from a dusky afar. This work you hold in your hands offers that twilight walk, and more.\"\" --Clarissa Pinkola Est s, Ph.D., author of \u003ci\u003eWomen Who Run with the Wolves\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Gift of Story\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Resource Publications (CA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625647672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.40d","brand":"David Rosen, Joel Weishaus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36662819258524,"sku":"9781625647672","price":20.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_96504119-7e3a-4cec-84c5-48fa62081e3b.jpg?v=1603902789","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-healing-spirit-of-haiku-9781625647672","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
