Mindfulness Challenge Day 27 Haiku -- Juno Arrives

The Blizzard of 2015, named Juno, came calling here in Massachusetts last night and predictions are it will contine to snow throughout today. The landscape looks surreal, reminiscent of scenes from the movie Dr Zhivago. I am grateful to be safe and warm inside; simply observing the magic of nature.

Nestled on the tree branches

Patiently waiting for spring

Mindfulness Challenge Day 9 Haiku -- Snow Globe

Finding a way to be mindful in 17 syllables is easier on some days than others. Today the haiku wrote itself while I sipped my coffee and looked out my kitchen window.

Snow Globe

Snow falling gently
Powdered sugar coats the leaves
A living snow globe

Bright sun, blue shadows, white snow piled high...very grateful to be comfortably warm and looking out at the winter tableau.

Joining me on my morning commute...snowflakes!

Snowflakes dance on air

Colliding, leaping, turning

Softly land on earth

In the northeast we woke up to snow showers -- a harbinger of winter when I am still savoring autumn.

Silent snowflakes fall

Disappear as they touch earth

Autumn to winter
