Okeydoke, I think I would like to remove the rather imperative overtone in the last line of the verse. According to Japanese notions of etiquette, it is rude in the sense of violating the soul of the haiku form. How about:

/ / / / / / Finding summer blooms
/ / / / / / in an ordinary soul:
/ / / / / / Treasure this rare skill
