"As I sit quietly this evening in the Italian Alps, I know that in the morning, the sun will surely come streaming in again over those quiet waters, now some 6,000 miles and a lifetime away from me.

This is a seven-month journal written in Haiku style poetry, from April to November, 2002. I got the idea from Dr. Angeles Arrien, who suggested writing down what we'd learned each day from her workshop by using Haiku. I kept at it for 7 months after attending the workshop, "capturing" each day's journey and lessons learned using Haiku. A great way to journal!
