Author Notes
"Let Go and Let God" - is an A.A. program slogan
The title is inspired by an Alcoholics Anonymous ( AA ) slogan that means, we can't control everything in our lives, and in order to recover, you have to turn your will and your life over to the care of God (or any higher power of your understanding). for more information
HAIKU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. It resonates on a deeper level, leaving the reader enlightened and making an insightful connection between the top two lines and the last one, called the SATORI. HAIKU uses a dash to pause before the SATORI. It was created in the 17th century by Zen Monk, Matsuo Basho. Haiku alludes to a season of the year. In Japan, haiku is written in 17 syllables and three lines ( 5/7/5) but in English is 17 syllables OR LESS because English and Japanese syllables are different. Avoid capitalization (except proper names) and punctuation.
