    About this ebook

    This is a book of haikus reflecting moments in time in my life.  These have all been written extemporaneously as situations and thoughts as I work my way through the trial and tribulations of everyday life.  Things aren't easy, but thee is beauty to be found even in the unpleasant moments.

      Cate Campbell On Pressing Pause

      May 30, 2021

      It’s March 23, 2020, 12.39pm and I’m at the supermarket check-out feeling on edge. It’s been a weird day; rumours have been dancing across my brain like dust devils, leaving a haze of uncertainty in their wake. My phone buzzes and I frantically check

      Ars Poetica II

      How I feel right now? Sharp pain/How I felt yesterday? Pain not as sharp but dull just as maddening to extract/How can I tell if I can’t see the wound? I am an academic. I study race, Jim Crow got wings and pseudopods I know its flapping in my belly,

      Pema Chodron: A Buddhist Teaching on Loneliness, Rejection and a Broken Heart

      Feb 28, 2019

      In the midst of loneliness, in the midst of fear. In the middle of feeling misunderstood and rejected is the heartbeat of all things … the genuine heart of sadness. Just as a jewel that has been buried in the Earth for a million years is not discolou

      I was reading some of your recent January features about New Year starts, treading old ground, when I stumbled upon one of your writers whose view felt somewhat more aligned with my own. Why is it that somewhere along the way, someone decided that th

      Star-struck

      Dec 17, 2019

      Risking life and limb (read: reputation) to get your point across won’t work – at least, not now, while you’re in a muddle. Best bet? Pull back for a spell, as much as that irks, and watch. Waiting periods are superb for a little reflection and to ta

      Celebrating The Seasons

      Mar 15, 2024

      The golden yellow of the first daffodils shooting up always makes me smile. Spring is my favourite season – the sense of new life after the winter, the syrupy scent of blossom perfuming the air. I drink up spring, relishing that first day of the year

      On Perspective

      Feb 28, 2018

      One of the many ways in which our mind attempts to make life easier is to solve the first impression of the problem that it encounters. Like our first impressions of people, our initial perspective on problems and situations are apt to be narrow and

      The Game Of Chance

      Sep 22, 2017

      I’ve always found it pretty amazing the things we got told when we were young. Things like, you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, or perhaps, don’t rock the boat, and even, let sleeping dogs lie. What I find even more amazing, though, is that we all
