If your ceiling opened up into the cosmic void of space, would you lie in bed forever? Would you watch the shooting stars and feel the fleeting, yet destructive power of the universe and liken it to love?

Encouragement: Sweet, sweet refreshment when it is needed most, for it gives new life. Seasons show us life must change, when leaves

From Toronto to Vancouver, one haiku at a time, A Journey Across Canada in Haikus by Stephanie Inglis is a gentle, vivid September voyage of early autumn.

With clarity and grace, Inglis invites us to slow
