A haiku and a walk in the forest

 

Birdsong fills the morning,
I walk on soft forest ground,
Step by step, toward a new day.

 

 

I am sharing with you my very first haiku, and I hope you like it.
The photos were taken during today's morning walk.

I recently read the book Shinrin Yoku: The Art and Science of Forest Bathing, and I loved it. I realized that I was already doing everything recommended, except writing haikus.

So I decided to write one. While I was writing it, a beautiful black kite flew very close to me—it was a magnificent moment.

It was a moment that felt just perfect—I was exactly where I wanted to be.

Without any regrets and without any sadness. 

Living fully in the present, caring for both body and soul.

It’s not the life I once planned, but over the years I’ve learned to love it just as it is.
