ShiZen: 200 Zen Haiku for You and Me

Shizen-meaning "Nature"-is a meditative collection of 200 haiku poems inspired by 20 timeless Japanese themes, motifs and philosophies. From the profound mystery of Yūgen, the dappled light of Komorebi, the healing spirit of Shinrin-Yoku to the golden resilience of Kintsugi, each section mindfully explores beauty, memory, gratitude, purpose, and peace through the language of nature in rivers, forests, sunlight, moonlight, trees, blossoms, rain, tea, home, and human relationships come alive in reflective verse rooted in Zen aesthetics. Gentle and deep, Shizen invites readers on a poetic journey of awakening, simplicity, healing, and harmony along with the natural world.
