Notes: I twisted this ‘haiku’ in that it goes 5-7-7 rather than 5-7-5, just because I liked the rhythm of it better. The image is from a distinctly B-movie called “The Girl On The Train” from 2014. But those are the coolest, right? Those films with nothing to lose… And in fact, the inspiration was triggered while watching the early few moments. I really liked the contrast between the Nazi concentration camp survivor’s monologue in the protagonist’s documentary footage and the train girl thinking out her window, luring the protagonist into her own ‘documentary’ script.

Notes: This haiku arose while reflecting upon and re-reading Gertrude Reif Hughes’ thoughtful and stimulating foreword to Rudolf Steiner’s monumental text “The Philosophy of Freedom” (sometimes translated as “The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity” — which gives an insight into the intended meaning of the term ‘freedom’). The book was written in 1893-1894 but the foreword was from a later edition, published in 1995. The book is very far from a typical philosophical work, which would turn many souls off, including myself in many ways. But if you pay it true and engaged attention — this book is still riveting and uniquely fresh. I have looked at it five or six times in life, always at least five or ten years apart, and it is every time a novel revelation. In contemplating the haiku, it is crucial to bear in mind that the act of noticing being referred to is realtime, in the moment! Not something realized a bit later, even a few seconds later, after the deed, relying upon memory.
