“In a sense, writing the year of haiku was like taking photographs without a camera. I learned to see these haiku moments around me, wherever I was, because I told myself I had to. It wasn’t so much finding beauty or meaning in everyday things, but knowing I could find beautiful or meaningful things everyday.”

“a true artist through and through.”
