Twelve years ago yesterday I began this blog! I didn’t know what I was doing for several years, and I took occasional breaks from the “daily” thing, but the important thing to me was that I was writing regularly, at a time in my life when a stressful job was sapping my time and energy, especially my creative energy. At this point, my daily practice of haiku has become necessary to my well-being. And, as is often said, a haiku is essentially a collaboration between the writer and the reader—so thank you for accompanying me along the way and completing the circle.
