Here is a building collection of Haiku that Zavidow creates for her YogaZ experiences, to capture the moment or idea that becomes the inspiration for the practice of the moment. And the photographs are hers as well.
1
Color splashes sky
Road turns left and left and right
Loss leaves, loving stays
2
Immense and subtle
Wordless pulsing heart of Life
This is scent of Bliss
3
You are not the house
Melt the bricks and beams and bones
Ananda endures
4
In this new-found calm
Softly reveling, I see
Wonders - everywhere
5
Partners intertwined
Lonely dances with Alone
Taking turns to lead
6
It took all this time
To come to this beginning:
Ask and Trust and Live
7
Winter's silence gone
Everywhere now there is sound
Let me listen - still …
8
Sounds of Spring I hear
Music of the birds delight
Waters gurgling smiles
9
Icy mountains melt
Torrents hum their way to sea
Washing ribbons deep
10
Creatures come alive
With the warm they find their voice
Rhythms croak and buzz
11
Hear the trees astir
Sound of new and green and life
Shusshing with the wind
12
Cowface? Really? Why?
Shall I moan or shall I moo?
No words. Just be still.
13
Let me now just be
Let me Feel and Breathe and See
Yes - this is alive
14
And the Winter Cold
Tells me what I need to know
Oh hear my winds blow
15
White and light they come
Wisdoms floating from the sky
Snow in silence speaks
16
There is a knowing
This October sun is warm
The Chill waits - patient
17
What is really me
That transcends each lifetime's mind
Can I understand
