Thru Haiku - Colorado Trail
CO Trail Thru Hiking Inspired Haiku
Miles pass beneath me
Dirt, sand, stone, dust, mud, sludge, duff
Feet press into earth
Streams run through mountains
I collect, filter, cherish
Water from the source
Walking through scarred land
Tree skeletons cast no shade
Fire has changed this place
Nearing the top now
Wind blows sideways against me
I lean into it

Every Moment, I am Reinvented
In every moment, I am reinvented. My eyes are closed. The waves are crashing only 150 feet away from me. Seven other beautiful souls are circled up on the sand. We are each meditating on our own personal mantras. Our teacher, Carrie, has just guided us through a perfect weekend of yoga overlooking the ocean, nourishing gourmet vegan meals, breathwork, hiking, and my first ever surf lesson. We’re closing out the weekend with silent meditation on our personal mantras.
