You don't need to leave your room.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
Don't even listen, simply wait.
Don't even wait.
Be quite still and solitary.
The world will freely offer itself to you.
To be unmasked, it has no choice.

Franz Kafka


Seems Kafka is giving us advise
on how to channel a good haiku ..
