A student came up to me after a Philosophy class I teach yesterday & said thank you to me for writing a thoughtful response to their essays & reflections.

Happy一茶忌 (Issa Memorial) for those who celebrate.
My favorite of his poems is 世の中は地獄の上の花見哉
In this world,
We walk the roof of hell
Gazing at Flowers
(Probably my favorite haiku of all time)
