I just had finished a meditation when I read your post on meditation. I too have taught meditation, in a variety of ways. Sitting focusing on breath or word seem to hold a barrier for some. So I introduce walking mindfulness meditation. Micro meditation focusing on candle flame, flower, or picture. Or chanting. Qigong and yoga are meditative. As we understand the miriad of ways to connect with the spirit within by slowing down, we have access to the Divine.

If only we spent our time acknowledging our similarities rather than our differences. Rather than you're black and I'm white, comparing how many children we have or where we enjoy traveling. This is what is wonderful about belonging to a group. Immediately upon entering, you already having something in common with everyone else who is there. Whether hiking or knitting or running or watching the kids play ball, you already share a reason for gathering. I think that's why it's so much easier to make friends in that type of an environment. Love the haiku and the thoughts they bring.🥰

These are great haiku! So distinctive. I love that last line of your first poem. You captured the essence of my meditation experience

Nice points, this reminded me of a fearful moment when I 'saw' a UFO/UAP. My biggest personal fear are folks I consider 'ignorant' AND armed ... it's all the same fear with different targets. It seems to be an overly strong attachment to the Body.
