Stillness Haiku|The Empty Cushion

After meditation the room appears unchanged, yet something has shifted within. This haiku reflects the quiet transformation that can arise through Buddhist practice, long after the candle has been extinguished and the incense has faded.

“Incense slowly fades-
only the empty cushion
knows where I have been”

From “Stillness | Moments of Buddhist Practice in Verse”

“Stillness is a collection of haiku, senryu and short reflective poems inspired by Buddhist practice, meditation, pilgrimage and the quiet moments of everyday life. Sometimes a few carefully chosen words can express what a much longer article cannot.”
