Synopsis

Meditations in Haiku seeks to use its meditative power to aid in awakening the reader's spiritual eye toward the understanding of James Allen's classic, As a Man Thinketh. This poetic translation of selective verse is not meant to be a substitute the reading of the 1900's classic. The volume of haiku neither seeks to be, nor is it an exact translation of his work. In fact, the reader is encouraged to make Allen's book a part of their spiritual reading, along with this and other books that serve to enhance spiritual growth. It is said, there is only one truth, yet many roads leading lead to that truth. Though the roads may change, varying in distance, size, substance, and directions, the truth however, remains constant. As such, what may have been lost in transforming Allen's thought into haiku hopefully will be rediscovered along the way. All the haiku to form and take up residence in your mind. Allow them to facilitate the answer to which you seek. Above all, open your mind to positive thinking and grow in Spirit and understanding.
