An inspiring evening of modern haiku
On 27 May, a special session focused on modern haiku took place. After a long working day, the gathering provided a valuable opportunity to pause for a moment, rediscover the connection with ourselves and unleash creativity.
The session explored personal boundaries, shared moments of pride and acknowledged the unique talents we have brought to our lives and work. It was inspiring to see how poetry-especially haiku-creates space for self-expression and mindfulness.
Some haiku that gave extra meaning to this evening:
"Know your roots and more
This will make you stand taller
No matter the wind"
"Reach with your branches not with your roots"
"We all need something
It is time to see that we found
This together"
"Exploring boundaries
Jump over your own shadow gives
Motivation for later"
Our thanks go to Dineke Oudijk, who guided this special evening with great warmth and care.
