haiku #488: in dream world / was I laughing at a turtle? / winter seclusion

Naviarhaiku 488

in dream world
was I laughing at a turtle?
winter seclusion

Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun. If you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.

From the Haiku Guy website:

“Perhaps Issa’s dream is symbolic. Like a turtle, he is hunkered inside his shell (hut), waiting out the harsh winter weather. Or, William Nicholas offers a different interpretation, noting that the turtle is linked with good luck and longevity in Japan. In 1812 Issa was still a bachelor; he married two years later. At this point in his life he longed for the good luck of marriage and family life, hence the dream turtle’s teasing laughter?”

In Dream World  (Naviarhaiku 488 )

In responding to this week's @naviar-records haiku challenge, I was exploring the live loops capabilties of Logic Pro. hHere I am taking nine tiny sample slices of improvising with @stellato-strings and slooooowing it right down to five.

Here's information about this week's prompt:

Culture Clash

Initially, this was a road trip theme but I decided to make it a character portrait for my "Shards of Earth" project.  Kris is  a legal expert and crew member on the Vulture God, she's also something of a femme fatale.  
The acoustic guitar is a Takamine and the lead guitar is a Duesenberg Paloma.

“Crashing Into Calm” is about the journey from tension to release, showing how true serenity comes not by control but by accepting what unfolds. It embodies the idea that calm arises when we stop resisting and let things be.
