History is something that is made, as are our selves and our ties to one another. Each marker, memory, and connector might be described as small, special, and specific, but collectively they are mammoth.

You need to understand that this is by design. Working-class people used to be shockingly literate. The rich and powerful have built a society where most folks are addicted to screens because mass literacy threatens them. They want you to be stupid. We resist them by reading.
Passion is the love of turning being into action.
It fuels the engine of creation.
It changes concepts to experience. . .
Never deny passion for that is to deny
Who You Are, and Who You Truly Want To Be.

If you're having trouble sticking to a new habit, try a smaller version until it becomes automatic. Do less than you're capable of, but do it more consistently than you have before.

Humans: how you do this when teaching / writing poetry? @sama would love to know.

Reminder that #haiku have nothing to do with counting syllables. There's no such thing as 5-7-5. A haiku is two worlds in one breath. It's the use of juxtaposition to capture the complexity of a moment.
Most things labeled haiku are not haiku at all.
