Haiku ~ Glimpses and Afterthoughts

Haiku about life and death. Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry that in three lines seeks to give a concentrated view of the present moment. These glimpses of life were selected from the haiku of the author as a gift by one who later chose to take his own life. The afterthoughts were written in his memory.

The life of Terje Eugen Holthe has been a journey and an exploration. What is life? What is a human being? Who am I? Questions like these have been guiding him in his search for meaning. On this journey he has had many occupations, from beekeeper to gardener, though originally he was educated as a civil engineer in the USA. Through the years an ecological perspective of life developed which eventually led him to Feng Shui, the Chinese way of harmony, and later on to Human Design.
