Crisis and Suffering: haibun by Patrick Connors

 

Crisis and Suffering

Buddhism accepts everyone, not despite all their differences, but with all their differences. 

It is a religion and philosophy seeking awareness, harmony, and peace.

Buddhism does not offend my Christian sensibilities. 

Rather, it informs my faith and practices. It gives me another perspective.

One of the foundational tenets of Buddhism is that life is suffering. 

Perhaps in poetically beautiful languages such as Sanskrit and Japanese, the word suffering has layers of meaning or universal connotations. 

I feel like crisis is more applicable to me in my journey. 

I have crises in my life, things I wouldn’t want you to go through, things I wouldn’t want my worst enemy to go through.

But my crises are not worthy of being called suffering. I eat three meals a day. I have a close-knit family. I don’t live under a general threat of violence.

In the last five years, I have typically gone two or three days at a time working, praying, and entertaining myself without leaving my home. Of course, this has led to another crisis.

I believe the worst crisis we have in society is to avoid suffering, to not recognize it, to not be in solidarity with those who truly experience it. 

This only makes the suffering that our sisters and brothers experience even worse, and puts us out of touch with our basic humanity.

Crisis

What I call struggle 

is a storm which washes 

my old self away

I requested a new poem from Patrick, and he sent me his "first attempt at a haibun". Pretty damn good! This morning he sent me this coda to yesterday's haibun.

Suffering 

The world cries in pain

waiting to be delivered 

like a newborn child.

For the first time in a month I felt up to visiting Callaghan's Rapids Conservation Area, my favourite nature escape. I took the bandage off my second dog bite wound this week, and although both wounds still look angry, at least they have finally healed enough to remove their dressings. The scars will look interesting next summer when I'm able to wade again in the Crowe River. This has been a lost summer for enjoying my usual relaxing days at Callaghan's.

Friend Marc has been busy, as usual, building cement forms in the parking lot. Apparently determined vandals have managed to knock some of the huge boulders off the protective barriers he and Doug have built around the lot's perimeter to keep illegal ATVers and dirt bikers from despoiling the park. Later on my hike I saw more of Marc and Doug's efforts at building barriers on the islands crossed by the old CNR railroad bridges. They have spent thousands of volunteer hours trying to protect the area's habitats, and have mostly succeeded.

I decided to hike on the Trans-Canada Trail to the side trail which crosses into Riverside Pines Estates. Somehow I missed the entrance, and walked most of the way to the long swamp. Finally I turned back to look for the entrance, which I found on a 15 minute return walk. When I reached the bridges I sat on one of the cement buttresses to relax after two hours of walking. Purple asters were in bloom everywhere, and the air had the cool freshness of early fall. I looked upstream and spied a blue heron silently poised in the marsh grass, patiently waiting for dinner to swim along. I felt a touch of embarrassment seeing his perfect stillness and patience. Far more zazen meditation posture than my own sloppy slouching and random thoughts.

Donating to the American Haiku Archives

 

How to Donate to the American Haiku Archives

The American Haiku Archives would not exist without the generous donation of books, papers, and other materials from interested individuals and groups. If you are considering a donation of your haiku materials, or materials from an estate for which you are a family member, friend, or an executor, the following guidance covers how to make a donation and the forms to include, and explains potential tax benefits.

Don’t throw away any haiku-related materials

When the American Haiku Archives began in 1996, Dr. Kevin Starr, the state librarian at the California State Library, said, “if in doubt, donate it —let history decide its value.” This remains the approach the American Haiku Archives promotes in preserving materials relating to the art and lives of haiku poets, scholars, and translators who might wish to donate materials to the archives. It is better to donate materials rather than to toss something that might be of value. Books are the most prominent items to donate (if we do not already have them), but private correspondence, manuscripts, diaries, journals, photographs, recordings, press clippings, and artwork (all relating to haiku) are also welcome. Some degree of biographical material and material not directly related to haiku or other poetry is also welcome if it helps to give a picture of the life of a particular haiku poet.

If the cost of shipping materials is a hindrance, please contact anyone on the AHA advisory board to see if financial assistance might be available. While we may not be able to provide financial assistance for shipping, we would rather know about your situation than to lose an historically valuable donation. The American Haiku Archives is not able to purchase collections, libraries, or papers, but may be able to raise funds needed to ship materials that would otherwise be lost or destroyed.

If you are uncertain as to the historical value of the materials under your care, or might need financial assistance to cover the shipping of materials to the archives, please contact the advisory board for guidance.

I'm not usually a fan of most things Amerikan, but the American Haiku Archives does seem like one worthwhile institution in that benighted country. For several years I've made donations to these archives in the dead of winter. January is a good time to sort through my hundreds, perhaps thousands, of haiku books, chapbooks, anthologies, correspondence and ephemera for my annual donations. Below is the current list of my own work. I've also donated material by other haijin, so you might want to check the listings yourself, and then consider donating.

Hi Allan,

Thanks for the kind response  :  )  Yep,  "Crossing Lines" is in the AHA archives, as well as a lot of other items I've donated over the years. I sent the link to the post to some Canuck haijin, and I'm pleased to learn Haiku Canada's archives may soon be headed for a permanent home in a professional B.C. library. For years they were in someone's basement or similarly inappropriate and inaccessible storage.

I'm fine, but perhaps a bit bored and missing big city life after almost 3 decades out here on the edge of The Shield. I trust you, Holly and Clara are doing well also? As a former hippie and rebellious survivor of the 1960s, I never planned to live to age 70, which somehow crept up on me last summer! Despite a bohemian lifestyle, I'm still fit and hardy, at least so far as I'm aware. I just got back from a 1 1/2 hour hike on a very remote part of the trans-Canada trail a few mins ago. It's around minus 11 but very bright and sunny, and the only tracks on the trail where I hiked were of other wild beings, some a bit scary  :  ) Even the 4 wheelers and snowmobilers haven't been out there yet.  

Good luck with decluttering your library. One good thing about doing this is all the memories which are evoked. Also I feel freer with fewer literary ghosts left hovering around my house. When I make my next trek to TO I'll make sure to contact you - hopefully for a dinner in Little India or at 3 Seasons Hanoi!

peace & poetry power!
Chris

hay bales (haibun)

Hi Gail,
I like your new short pieces - they are akin to prose poems, but just the right length, or perhaps they are succinct meditations. Well written & thought out, the creations of a true contemplative  ;  )

There is possibly a publishing market for them - perhaps with a few more you could get a regular column with THE LINK or some other mag.
Congrats!
peace & poetry power!
Chris ... & Chase Wrfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!


p.s. This aft Chase & I made a return hike to the new logging slash about a mile back on the trails behind Zion Church. The last time we hiked there we surprised a huge herd of deer browsing on the tasty remnants left by the loggers. The place looks like hell - a forest version of Mordor - but the deer love the fresh supply of tender tree tops & branch ends & the safety  from predators provided by the openness.

When I visited Morley's dad at Campbellford Hospital last week, this was the story he wanted to hear - about this huge gathering of perhaps 40+ deer foraging in their own unique deer yard. When Morley visited him on Sunday, this was again what Don wanted to talk about. Don is an old bushrat, raised in this area, & these woods & their creatures are his favourite places. He was so concerned about the deer starving over this bitterly old-fashioned winter that he asked Morley to lug a bale of hay back to the slash.

Many thanks for the kind words, Marvin  ; )
I felt a real kinship with Basho's final "over the withered fields" haiku this afternoon.

A-frame 'workday'

I was able to take an afternoon off yesterday from interminable mowing & path clearing at ZenRiver prepping for PurdyFest #7 to join the workday at the Purdy A-frame in Ameliasburgh. Next weekend is their first open house/picnic. My main contribution, after sweeping the famous deck, was doing some 'zen' pruning on the small point jutting into Roblin Lake. This was Al's favourite spot, which he created by hauling hundreds of barrow loads of rocks & detritus. Lakefront is sold by the foot, & Al & Eurithe couldn't afford the extra cost of a 'point', which they dearly wanted, so they just created their own. After the other volunteers left, I went for a dip in the lake while Chase served as lifeguard. Then I daydreamed while drying off, relaxing on the old wooden lounger on the deck.  Oh, & I finally got to visit inside the A-frame, courtesy of Matty, the project coordinator. Even got to rub the head on Al's bust of D. H. Lawrence while on the tour :  )    perfect poetry day

Eel Pie Island Dharma

February 13, 2013 | Filed under: Arts,Featured,Patrick Connors | Posted by: patrick

 

 

Chris Faiers’ Ode to Youth Number 7 on Amazon

Patrick Connors – Toronto:  Chris Faiers was born on Hamilton Mountain in 1948.  His family emigrated to the southern U.S. when he was six. Although a Canadian citizen, he was eligible to be drafted for the Vietnam War as a resident alien. Chris became an anti-war activist in Miami, Florida, attending demonstrations, organizing a campus group and publishing an underground newsletter.  He left the U.S. forever in June 1969.
Chris lived for two years in the largest commune in the United Kingdom, the derelict Eel Pie Island Hotel in Twickenham.  Eel Pie Island Dharma tells the story of his explorations

and adventures in the late ’60s and early ’70s.
“Basho, a wandering Japanese poet who lived in the late 1600s, created the haibun form”, Faiers said.  “He refined an ancient Japanese tradition of short nature poems into the haiku, which in Japanese are written with a 5-7-5 syllable structure. Over recent decades English language haiku poets – “haijin” – have shortened this form, as the way of counting syllables is much different in the English language.

“Late in life Basho began a series of Zen-inspired pilgrimages. He wrote travel journals about these journeys, interspersing narrative prose with his insightful and meditation-informed haiku. This unique combination of poetic prose and haiku became haibun.

“So, Eel Pie Island Dharma is of literary and historical significance for a number of reasons. It is among the first published English language haibun. It has also become a historical document of the late 1960s, and previous editions of it have been quoted and referenced in a number of prestigious books.

“I have to thank Richard ‘Tai’ Grove, publisher of Hidden Brook Press, for believing in this book and producing it!”

“I am proud of bringing Chris’s book into print”, Grove said.  “It is worthy of being found in collections and on library shelves.”  When I asked him about Faiers’ success, having been ranked as high as seventh on Amazon for poetry at times, Grove said, “We just keep plugging the book – word of mouth.”

“Being ranked #7 feels great, and gives some validation to what I am doing,” Faiers said.  “We live in a capitalist society, and poetry is not really about making money, but is more of a spiritual calling.”

Here is the link to where you can purchase it on Amazon.

“It is also being sold online by alibris and SmithBooks.”

Chris Faiers then

The book is a very easy read, and contains colourful memories of Faiers’ formative years.  I asked him which experiences from this era affected him the most.  “First of all, definitely my initial visit to a Buddhist monastery.”  This certainly feels like a turning point in the book, as well as for Faiers, but an earlier experience affected him profoundly, and directly led to his Buddhist practice.

“The other one was meeting George Harrison.  Initially, I didn’t get the Beatles.  But then they opened up what it means to be an artist, Eastern mysticism, really the whole world to me.  

George was just a guy, not a ten-feet tall demigod with rainbows shooting out his fingers.  He was a short guy, wearing blue jeans, sort of “of us”.  My friend Canadian Peter gave him a tape of his music, hoping to be recorded by Apple Records.  I was so shy, but I managed to give him Cricket Formations, which was a collection of my early haiku.  The next week, California John and Canadian Peter went to find the results of their efforts.  Harrison told him he didn’t really care for the tape, but that he liked my poetry.  I always appreciated that he took the time to read my book.”

Eventually, Faiers did have to tune back in, and got a job as a grave-digger.  “I almost starved to death when my parents stopped sending me small monthly cheques. I had understood the cheques were a legacy from my grandmother, but anyway ‘for my own good’ I didn’t receive any money for several months over the winter and spring of 1970. There weren’t many potential jobs for a long haired, bearded young foreign hippie, and working in a graveyard was one of the few places someone like me could get hired.  It was also a peaceful job, and I believe legendary blues guitarist Peter Green went to work in a London graveyard to escape the groupies and fame. Of course I quickly adopted the usual jokes about it being ‘a dead end job’ and ‘people just dying to get in here’.”

Faiers attended some of the music festivals which marked the times.  “I attended two Isle of Wight Festivals. The first one was in the summer of 1969, in August, the same month as Woodstock.

“I also attended the first Glastonbury Music Festival. It was really a sort of tribal gathering for hippies from all over the UK, Europe and even North America. It’s a great irony that this once most counter-cultural of events has survived for decades and become the largest music festival in the English speaking world!”

Chris and Chase now

I asked him if he still longs for his freewheeling, free-loving, freak flag flying hippie days.  “There’s not really much of a dosser (English slang for someone who sleeps outdoors) in me anymore.  I own a small bungalow, have a hot shower every morning, take my dog Chase for a walk.

“However, Bohemia and artistic expression thrive on the opposite end from capitalism.  I encourage the get-off-the-grid lifestyle.  People who can’t afford a traditional vacation should go camping.”

To that end, Faiers is the main force behind Purdyfest, which is held in Marmora every August long weekend.  Dorothy Livesay is the focus behind this year’s festival, which features free camping and activities at ZenRiver Gardens.  For more information, please visit their website.

“When I come into the city to visit people, they consider me to be a poor poet.  By my standards, I am successful!”

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Chris,

Thank you so much for the gift of the book. Holly and I were very pleased to see how well-produced it is. I’m reading it first, and must tell you I’m engrossed and much impressed with the prose, the haikus, and how they go together. My response is like Honey’s: I get pulled right back into that era.

I’m also delighted to know that Eel Pie Island Dharma is deservedly high on the Amazon chart. May the good sales long continue, through all channels! I’ll be contributing by buying copies for friends.

Peace – and Poetry Power,
Allan
