Haiku: Art of Perception
K. Ramesh The School, Chennai, India

At the outset, I would like to explore the meaning of the word 'communion', which Krishnamurti often used in his writing. One of the meanings offered by the dictionary is 'fellowship with others'.Years ago, when I started reading K's books, apart from the psychological insights, I was enthralled by the sheer beauty of his description of the natural world. The description revealed to me his keen sense of perception, his love of nature and his deep sensitivity. I also felt that his writing was not just a mere description of the physical world, but had a transcendental quality, and his words had a certain freshness. I began to understand the implication of the meaning of the word 'communion', and this communion with nature became very important to me.

friend's house-
I make tea
for both of us

starlit sky-
I touch a turtle before
it enters the sea

a cuckoo's call deepens
the silence

ISBN : 978-1-893959-63-7

Comments on the cover:

"These are poems about edges of things;the dawn and dusks, the curve of a water jug, the ocean shore. That these poems from India are so immediately available to readers around the world speaks movingly of the power of the tiny haiku in the hands of a true communicator."

John Stevenson
