The History Of Haiku
Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. It has a rich and spiritual history. Many people relate Haiku to Zen. Haiku did not originate from Zen. Zen is not even considered a school or branch of Buddhism by scholars and universities comparative religion departments because Zen does not adhere to any Buddhist Sutra (teaching) but promotes nihilism. Unfortunately with the proliferation of the internet false equivalents are epidemic.

Story 38 My father was an abusive raging alcoholic. I had an older sister and we were treated very differently. She was the golden child and I was the punching bag. My sister slept with my husband three days after we got married. He left me for her. My dad forgave her and spent holidays with them and wouldn’t call me. I built a massive viral business that was doing $30K a month and it wasn’t enough for him to pleased with me. After 12 years alone raising my kids I thought I found the love of my life but turned out to be a narcissist who was just like my father and tore me down mentally, financially and left with me nothing. When I told my dad he asked me if my $300 bang (we met on a cruise) was worth my $180K income and didn’t talk to me for many months.

What is Death?
Folks have questioned what happens after death for a long time. Many would say this question is one of the main reasons men started religions. There are mant different answers to this question, but some scientists, especially those in astro physics have now added the concept of the infinite to the question!

Story 22 I have never been around anyone with any sort of drug or alcohol problem. Well, up until this past year. And as I suspected what I am witnessing with my person, is not unique or unusual. I have realized that I have walked into a world of complete and utter chaos. The helI I have been through this past year is never going to end. It is only going to get worse, and deeper in depth. There is a song by Jelly Roll called save me. And it reminds me of my person on so many levels. You guys should listen to it. If you don't already know it. I have always known that I have to get away from this person, and all the posts I see here confirms that. I am going to save myself, because I can, I don't have to stay with a person that has this disease, no matter how wonderful he is to me, both drunk and sober. He is a liability, to himself and to me... And I can not watch someone I love destroy themselves.

Story 15 Tonight I am disappointed. My husband is away at training for a job, in a college town. Surprise surprise he’s drinking on a Tuesday when he has training tomorrow and has spent over $100 tonight when we’re barely scraping by right now, we are literally living at my parents house rent free because we just moved across the country. He drinks almost all week and says it’s to calm his thoughts. I really never thought of him as an alcoholic up until recently and I don’t know why I never did, his family is full of alcoholics and all the signs are there. I’m so sick of this, I’m pregnant with our second child overall just extra emotional, I’m so sick of it, but he is our only income right now since I stay home with our 3 year old and I’m so tired of dealing with him, feeling like a babysitter all the time. I feel bad to say but don’t know why I let the pregnancy happen and why I thought it would be OK. Why bring another child into this mess... I can literally feel my heart aching 😥
