A Little Poetry--Haiku

Haiku Mind: 108 Poems to Cultivate Awareness and Open Your Heart Haiku Mind: 108 Poems to Cultivate Awareness and Open Your Heart by Patricia Donegan


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Each haiku is given two pages which contains the poem itself, a short meditation, and a few words about the poet.
Although the editor chose the themes for these haidu inspired by Buddhist tradition, they can be enjoyed by readers of any religion. They encourage the reader to slow down and reflect upon life, to take time to see what is, to come away from being self-absorbed.
This is a lovely little book, worthy of rereading.
