My poems come out of a mindfulness practice, something I began engaging with whilst researching a Ph.D. on Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh (http://plumvillage.org/). His teachings and indeed his poems have had a profound effect on me,
It is in moments of awareness that the words of the poems just come, as if they are already in the air and I just pick them up and put them to paper.
I was also helped to start writing by friend and fellow practitioner Pete, who led a Day of Mindfulness and poetry and said, ‘you can write a poem about anything’. These words unlocked something inside and the poems began to flow.
I also lead mindful writing workshops and retreats, and for me the starting point of writing is being quiet and still enough to notice what is present, either around or within me. This is what I write about.

Full description
Lean into the Wind is an A5 sized collection of some of my poems written between 2010- 2018.
The poem Lean into the Wind is about trusting to nature. I remember as a child literally being able to lean into the wind, and feeling invigorated by its support.
Do you or someone you know love poetry? This small poetry booklet makes a wonderful gift, whether you're saying
Happy Birthday
Thank you

Safe travels
Thinking of you! or many other reasons.
All the 77 (yes, 77!) original poems in this booklet are written by me, and are part of my mindfulness practice.
This A5 collection makes an elegant gift.
Many of the poems are inspired by the teachings of Buddhist Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh and were written on a retreat, sometimes in Plum Village, France where he resided.
See the contents page in the photos.
This is a listing for one poetry booklet. Please see my other listings for different booklets, and a set of all 4.
UK postage is included in the price.
The poetry booklet will be carefully wrapped and sent securely in recycled packaging as I am trying to be as eco-friendly as possible.
