Haiku realization

I was singing a very logical song today while washing potatoes in the rain, and I realized something:

Singing in the rain
what a glorious feeling
I'm happy again.

It's a haiku!! How cool is that? :)

I think farmers must be excellent meditators. I thought so in Thailand watching the shepards out in the fields with their cows, but now that I'm part of a working farm in Japan, I'm pretty sure. There's just so much time of being in the present moment, just with what you're doing. It's a great training to watch the mind. Who needs zazen when you can harvest potatoes? lol...
