Basho is one of my heroes, next to e.g. Gandhi. Why is Basho my hero? I am a haiku poet and Basho was a haiku master which I adore. I even have a weblog about him. Basho is my inspiration for writing haiku.

To feel like Basho, I imagine, is to be at peace and one with nature....how lucky you are!

Thank you for sharing and introducing us to Basho!!
Very, very nice haiku; it's clear Basho is like a candle in your life.
Nothing is more rewarding for a teacher than his/her pupil's visit and her/his respect.
You feel like him...? You are lucky!
