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

We had issues with Brad's Big White Johnson. We spent a grand on it in Great Exumas, and it only lasted for 2 days. Try being on a sailboat without a motor on your Dinghy sailing the bahamas. It blows. I mean, this Johnson is a really old outboard, but we were hoping to get it working. #sailing #travel #bahamas
