“It is a startling truth that how you see and what you see determine how and who you will be. An interesting way of beginning to do some interior work is to explore your particular style of seeing. Ask yourself, what way do I behold the world? Through this question, you will discover your specific pattern of seeing.” -John O’Donohue in Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom The practice of writing Haiku has helped me discover my “specific pattern of seeing.” There have been so many unexpected gifts from this practice. I hope you’ll take some time to listen to our conversation about Haikus this month. It felt like we were standing on sacred ground. You can watch our conversation here and see the other Haikus this month. Smaller & Deeper is my weekly newsletter. It arrives in your inbox every Sunday evening. Reflections, poetry, quotes, books. It’s a pause to start your week focused on the smaller and deeper things. I hope you’ll join us.
