Lucien, this collection captures fleeting moments of desert life through the timeless discipline of haiku. Each poem is a meditation, a breath held between shadow and sun, between ancient earth and the present moment.\nRooted in the high desert landscapes of Taos, New Mexico, \u0026amp; the beautiful Southwest, these haiku explore themes of impermanence, resilience, solitude, and reverence. From wind-sculpted mesas and migrating birds to adobe shelters and celestial events, Knobloch’s words honor both the visible world and the silence beneath it. The result is poetry that feels at once intimate and vast, spare, intentional, and deeply alive.\nMore than a book of poems, Absorb This Silence is a contemplative experience. It speaks to lovers of nature poetry, readers drawn to mindfulness and spiritual reflection, and anyone seeking quiet clarity in a noisy world. The collection also honors the cultural and ancestral legacy of the American Southwest, acknowledging the land as both teacher and witness.\nPerfect for slow reading, gifting, meditation, or creative inspiration, this book is a keepsake, one that reminds us that silence is not empty, but full.\nLet the desert speak.\nLet the stillness remain.\nAbsorb this silence.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 969909270X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.969909270X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Knobloch, Marta|Lyford, Lex|Lucien, C.J.|Short, Jana\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
