We are deeply honoured and delighted that the above haiku has subsequently been featured as part of the World Haiku Series 2019 organised by the Akita International Haiku Network, together with a Japanese translation by Hidenori Hiruta.

    1. Thank you dear Laurie, there’s a very calm energy around this sculpture 💜 When our adopted cats were still alive we would often find them in front of the garden Buddha, as if they were sitting in quiet meditation too 🙂💖 xxx
