There are many people in the world who, due to genetic makeup, luck or both, have been blessed with good health for the better part of their lives. Others succumb to incapacitating illness and/or chronic pain as a result of injury or accident, exposure to environmental contaminants, or other mystifying causes. Those with chronic illness and pain encounter many challenges to living well despite their debilitating or demoralizing symptoms. If one lives long enough––either well or ill––we all experience aging: the body changes, capacities diminish or disappear all together. There are multiple losses to face. Ultimately, death takes us all. In these pages, the reader will find recounted the everyday outlines of a life lived with sporadic courage and resilience, perseverance and humor, as well as a hint of elevation thanks to the healing spirit of haiku.grass fire / not in the hills / in my veins * * * daylight savings ends / where's the clock / for asthma * * * more travel plans / I take the long route / to the mailbox * * * even with / a broken nose (or worse) / laughing buddha

I am a licensed psychologist who moved from New York City to Berkeley, CA in 1982. I rediscovered haiku in the 1990s after mysteriously developing chronic health problems which significantly impacted both body and mind. My attention span has been shrunk to the length of a single breath--just right for writing haiku. Haiku has thus saved my life. Having been born for retirement (but constitutionally incapable of planning for such things), I cherish the time I have for reading and writing poetry, which has been informed by my longtime study of Eastern philosophy and spirituality--Zen and Taoism, in particular.
