mountain in the mist

the distance from here

to anywhere

Shiki Kukai, November 2012. Assigned kigo: mist

Tikkis said...: There is a nice comment from Ripsa. I wonder whether you can google-translate it?

sunjata (sanskrit, also shunyata; Pali: suññatā), is a Buddhist term that is translated into English as emptiness, openness, thusness, etc

Thanks Ripsa!

Danaelle said...: I like mist and fog !

brouillard au port
le cri d'un goéland
au bord de nulle part

foggy port
the cry of a seagull
on the edge of nowhere

I don't know if the translation is right...
