haiku #532: Wordless / all day long / the shadow of a butterfly

HAIKU MUSIC CHALLENGE

Naviarhaiku 532

Wordless
all day long
the shadow of a butterfly
 
Hōsai graduated from the Tokyo Imperial University, where he studied law. He got off to a good start but decided to give up his home, family, and business to jump from one militant religion of Japan to the other.

Just like Taneda Santoka, Hōsai abandoned the traditional verse form of his time and mostly looked at the austere confines of his life for inspiration.

Guided Levitation - against all odds (naviarhaiku613)

This work that features Italian Soprano Silvia Pepe explores the possibility of a revolution, a Revolution of the Mind.  Is it possible to still have a truly independent thought in this era that is dominated by the Information Society who attempts to manipulate the minds of the people and control the narrative by spreading false, deceptive and misleading information.   

Silvia Pepe sings lines from Puccini's Tosca "e avanti a lui tremava tutta Roma."  and "io quella lama gli piantai nel cor".    Translated "and all of Rome trembled before him."  and " I planted that blade in his heart".   

Vincent Eoppolo recites his poem Revolution of the Mind
