a rainy day
the autumn world
of a border town
-Basho
(translated by Jane Reichhold)
We have entered the micro-season of “Light Rain Showers”. This is the second micro-season of the mini-season of Frost Descent. The micro-seasons within Frost Descent are:
The First Frost Falls (Oct 23 - Oct 27)
Light Rain Showers (Oct 28 - Nov 01)
The Maple and the Ivy Turn Yellow (Nov 02 - Nov 07)
In today’s post, we will learn about rain, the different classifications of rainfall, and how the sound of rain can quiet a restless mind. Then we will read seasonal haiku by Issa, Buson, and Basho.
