Basho - Jan 28, Iyengar II & I

I have been feeling ready for a long journey, since that won’t be possible anytime soon, the next best thing is to read about one. Basho was the master of long pilgrimages on foot, walking the length and breadth of Honsu Island many times over. As I was reading his work I came across this gem, for the Full Moon. I love the rhythm.

Oh! The full moon’s light!

Round and round my pond I strolled

All the moon-bright night!
