A generative meditative piece inspired by the following haiku:

stillness:
the sound of petals
sifting down together.

by: Miura Chora

Miura Chora (1729-1780) was a Japanese poet from Toba (present-day Mie Prefecture). Early in his career, he came into contact with the Teimon School, and bonded with the great Yosa Buson. An admirer of Matsuo Bashō, he strived for a return to the simple tones and spirit of the latter's poetics, criticizing the vulgarization of haiku of his era and advocating the so-called "return" to a Bashō's style.

The Vulgarization of Haiku [ naviarhaiku571 ]

on New Year's Day
everywhere, a corrupt world's
blossoms.

Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828) was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun.

In parapsychology and Spiritualism, a psychomanteum is a small, enclosed area set up with a comfortable chair, dim lighting, and a mirror angled so as not to reflect anything but darkness, intended to communicate with spirits of the dead.

Even though afar
a feeling of coolness comes
from those mountain pines

by: Kagami Shikō

Kagami Shikō was a Japanese poet, considered one of the ten outstanding disciples (Shōmon jittetsu 蕉門十哲) of Matsuo Bashō. He was in turn the master of the famous poetess Fukuda Chiyo-ni.

Originally from the present-day Gifu Prefecture, Kagami Shikō became a monk at Daichi-ji Temple, and in 1690 he became a pupil of Bashō, later accompanying him on some of his journeys and recording his last will in 1694.

After Basho's death, he kept travelling around Japan, writing several essays on haiku and collections of writings until his death in 1731.

I read the haiku a few times and imagined a cloud of visibly cool air enveloping a warm lake, a tree and a heron. 

This original version of "Slouch Beneath The Tree With Me" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 576, Amongst The Rushes.

Amongst the rushes,
a stillness comes over us -
Heron in winter.
