I'm glad you enjoyed the film trailer... if you want to watch the whole thing (it's about 25 minutes), you can do so here: www.preciouswaters.org Glad you enjoyed the haibun, it really is a wonderful form and the process of writing a haibun piece every day for a month like that was transformative for me. I love the emphasis on the simplicity of language, the Zen thought, the seasonal observations, and the descriptions of journeys... all themes that I enjoy working with, and the haibun form just feels so right, and also seems to offer endless opportunity for exploration. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Cheers, Greg. Hi Dave – thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment!

Have not been to your site in quite a while. Watched the flick and feel grateful for the important work your doing. My son is currently finishing his paper on the waters of the Mekong Basin. I want him to see this film. Also like yr haibun, I have been doing that form since Dianne DiPrima showed it to me on a mountain above Santa Cruz. peace dave Hey Bum!
