There is a myth I have been telling myself that I'm not strong enough.
(To endure pain. To carry these people stories. To be an artist.)
I remember stepping off the UN plane and already wanting to turn around. I shield my eyes from the sun and peer onto the Kenyan horizon and nothing seems possible. The world’s largest refugee camp: 320,000 refugees with 2,000 coming over the border every month.

What makes something a piece of ‘art’? Is it length, size, or the aesthetic appeal of a certain object? I doubt that because anyone can see “artistic” value in almost anything. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and there is definitely something I find interesting about haikus. So why do I like these 5-7-5 liners—because they are simple, easy to create, and can convey your meaning in just 17 syllables.
