Seventeen breaths- lungs of the Earth heave again, life stirs Pause. Look at the natural world around you. Even in a busy urban setting, you can sit on a bench or lean against a tree and take in the world-even for just seventeen seconds. Seventeen Breaths of Life is a collection of poetry and art that pairs daily haiku with weekly images. These short, philosophical poems explore the beauty and wonder of the natural world. They chronicle the progression of time over the year through the lives of plants and animals native to British Columbia. The collection reaches out to poetry lovers as well as those interested in daily mindful meditation anchored in the life around them. In our hyper-active world, this thin volume helps ground the reader, regardless of age, for a few moments each day.
