Todays quote on Carpe Diem Haiku Kai from Khalil Gibran is:
[...] "Perhaps the sea's definition of a shell is the pearl. Perhaps time's definition of coal is the diamond." [...]
[...] "A pearl is a temple built by pain around a grain of sand." [...]Here are two haiku written by Chèvrefueille:

wandering along the sea
in the footprints left an oyster
shimmering of a pearl

The second verse struck me more than the first ...
pearls of wisdom
gleaned from the pain of living
mother fox runs
