Over the past two years traveling through Japan’s longevity hotspots, I kept noticing something unexpected: Many older people practice haiku. This week in Tokyo, during the Humanities and Arts conference organized by IAFOR, I spent time with distinguished haiku poets Emiko Miyashita and Kyoko Uchimura. What I came to realize is that haiku may be far more than a literary pastime. It may help explain something deeper about attention, seasonality, connection, and how people age in Japan. This Short accompanies a longer Field Note exploring haiku, aging, and the Japanese idea that we remain connected to the rhythms of life as we grow older. https://www.nevertoolateacademy.com/post/haiku-aging-and-the-aha-moment About me: I’m Lowell Sheppard, 71, sailor, author, and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. I’m the Founder of the Never Too Late Academy and Special Advisor to IAFOR. Through Japan Solo Field Notes, I explore aging, place, and community across Japan. #Japan #Haiku #Longevity #HealthyAging #JapanSolo #JapaneseCulture #Mindfulness #Aging #LifeLessons #IAFOR

Seit April 2023 leben und arbeiten wir, Sarah und Michael, an Bord unserer Segelyacht Lilo und segeln in der Ostsee zu den schönsten Orten. Mit dabei sind unsere beiden Fellnasen Trishi und Merlin, die ebenfalls das Segeln für sich entdeckt haben und uns bei unseren Touren auf dem Wasser und an Land stets begleiten. Da wir nicht nur segeln möchten, sondern ebenfalls die Menschen und die Länder rund um die Ostsee kennenlernen möchten, sind wir eher gemütlich unterwegs. Wir freuen uns über jeden, der uns virtuell auf unserer Reise begleiten möchte. http://www.TheNorthStory.de #segeln #reisen #abenteuer #sailing #ostsee #balticsea #life #lifeaboard #unterwegs #fy #wolgast #meckpomm #thenorthstory
