One feeds the body but it is necessary to also feed the spirit within
Haiku can help to do that by offering a look at life and nature in words that evoke feeling. Words can create meditation.

A frog has plucked his slack-stringed
samisen;
The Pond was quieter at nightfall,
then.

How still it is!
The belfry's vibrant boom
Does not so much as stir
the cherry-bloom.

The Spring Festival
What pains I took to hang my lantern on
the branch of cherry blossom
where it shone.
