RE: Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water.

in #poetry6 years ago

Just until recently I didn't know what Haiku was. I have only discovered it through the haiku bot on steemit that is creating haiku from the comments.

Your short poems are lovely. My favorite is the one about the trees :) I usually don't buy that many hardcopies anymore as it's more comfortable to read things online. I still love books and I have many but I got a little bit comfortable which is not necessarily a good thing.

My life philosophy would be 'Live and let live'. I try to live my life the best I can without hurting anyone and anything. I started my vegan journey a few years ago and living without hurting (indirectly) animals makes me happy. I have never lived such a content life like now.

What I should improve is meditation. I struggle with the meditation greatly and I just don't seem to be able to control my thoughts and focus on my breath. I have tried many techniques but my head is just too busy. I continue my research and hopefully I will find a technique soon that will suite me.

Thank you for sharing your poems. It was my pleasure to read them.

Have a great weekend and sorry for the long comment!

Thank you so much @delishtreats for reading my poems and thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I really like your life philosophy, it is very admirable. Since you have newly discovered the haiku I recommend you look into zazen for meditation since, like the haiku, is associated with zen thought. Don't apologize for your long comment, I appreciate you taking the time and I love reading your words!
