Thank you for this practice on responding with creativity in thanksgiving for life. It resonates well with me. Being alert and aware of opportunities and choosing to act creatively opens a life giving space. I took the opportunity today to acknowledge my friends for their presence, goodness and friendship. I received much much more from their warm responses. I notice my heart is full and light hearted at the same time.
Thank you for the good work done here by the dedicated team and the heartfelt contributions and deepening insights shared by readers.
Creativity is shown here in so many ways. Gratitude.

A haiku doesn’t talk about an experience;
a haiku triggers an experience.
—- Bro David Steindl-Rast

As in haiku, so is blessings.

Both uses the same platform of engaging our senses;hear,see,smell,taste and feel.
Stoke awareness and deepen observations.

I enjoyed both the haiku practice and the blessings practice. Perhaps more with the smorgasbord haiku practice which I find memorable and enjoyable. The blessing practice was more like a targeted dish named blessings, though enjoyable still.

Deep gratitude to bro David and the dedicated team that make this inspirational gift available. Heartening gift for the soul;for people who live quiet desperate lives, even for blessed lives, from mundane to busy lives.
Sharing by readers also provide inspiration and comfort.

As in painting, so is poetry.

Thank you for the blessed 8 day practice and I look forward to what’s next.

Travel and haiku
Wander lust and Wonder’s eyes
Two’s a company
And in perfect harmony

Thank you for this wondrous 8 day haiku practice. It brought me to a new level of understanding why I love travelling and haiku so much as they go hand in hand.
Participating with like minded people who loves haiku was also an extended joy. I also like to repeat what one participant said with gratitude for the people who has put in tremendous efforts behind this project.
I have self taught myself haiku from reading what is available out there and is aware my skills is still raw and having this opportunity to connect to a community and resources is amazing. My heart is full. I look forward to learning and honing my poetry skills still.
Grateful and with deep appreciation.

Thank you for this 4th practice on Haiku. Each practice strikes a heartfelt chord This practice hits me quietly with an aha moment:
THIS is what haiku is about :
Just being in the moment with nature; for whatever is happening right there. Also attention, curiosity, observation, appreciation,engagement, play and joy coming together in one brief moment and captured with 17 syllables.
A micro moment of aliveness.
A life giving pause to today fast pace of life.
With Gratitude
