Haiku Collection

Piping hot coffee
Silence of snowflakes falling
Through the holidays

The essence of what society has built and classified as the holidays gives most of us this sense of peace, time off, and wintery-Christmas theme.

Mysterious smell
Progressively expanding
Lingering about 

Trying to figure out where the mysterious smell was coming from, while practicing mindfulness and writing a haiku in the moment.

Clouded turbulence
Homebound facing horizon
Fleetingness voyage

Stuck in an airplane, bound to the seat, with nothing but the views of clouds and destinations in mind. It can sometimes feel like the best feeling, like the right way to feel in between.

Swift deafening winds
Deep within lush cedar bog
Drowns the natures song

Hiking through Cedar Bog, practicing mindfulness and connecting with nature through the simple breath.

Destination-less
Orange encrusted monarch
As calm wind shall blow

Searching for nothing, yet everything always works out in nature in the end.

Vibrating mirror
Soul penetrating music
Lyrics come to mind

Inspirations can come from out of thin air with the right ambiance.

Streaming butterfly
Hovering through beaten path
Flying nowhere fast

Witnessing an orange butterfly flutter about, so quickly, yet without any clear path catches my attention, and reminds me of how beautiful nature can be if I stop to watch.

Anxious thoughts pass by
Mindful practice commences
A squirrel chatters

No matter where we are, if it is the most amazing place, anxiety will be there, but it depends on how you approach it.
