barn's burnt down;I came across this poignant haiku this morning. Mizuta Masahide was a samurai in the Zeze domain of Ohmi Province. In 1688 Masahide's house was burnt down, prompting him to write his most famous haiku. The haiku seems very current and relevant to our challenging present times. Can we also see the opportunity within the crisis?
now I can see the moon
~ Masahide
