September 24
Festival of #Poets (Japan)
IZANAMI-NO-KAMI
Themes: Art; Creativity; Excellence
Symbol: #Poetry
About Izanami-no-kami: In Japan, this creative goddess is considered to have made all things, and she inspires similar inventiveness within us. Traditionally, she is honored through artistic displays, including dance, song, music, and poetry reading.
To Do Today: Every September, poets from across Japan come to the imperial palace to compose verses. Upon receiving a cup of sake floated down the river, each poet must create an impromptu verse.
The winner becomes the nation's poet laureate. In keeping with this idea, concentrate on trying your own hand at a little #sacred poetry today, perhaps even a #haiku Traditional haiku contains #seven syllables in the first line, #five syllables in the second line, and #seven or five in the last; each line evokes an image or feeling in the reader's mind.
Here's one example:
Izanami-no-kami
paints the universe
radiant-eternity
If #poetry isn't your forte, engage in another art form through which Izanami-no-kami's imaginative spirit can shine. Ask for her assistance and inspiration before you begin, and see what wonders her nudge can arouse in you. Or, visit an art gallery, making notes of the things that really strike a harmonious chord in your spirit.
