What if the things that shape us - the ones that stay with us - are found not in the grand events, but in the quiet details we often overlook?
In this episode of Quiet Currents, we explore the third principle of Live a Haiku Life: Observing with Intent. Through a personal story of honeysuckle vines, front porch afternoons, and the quiet attentiveness of a woman named Aunt Nancy - family not by blood, but by heart - we reflect on what it means to notice the world with all of our senses.
You’ll hear how simple observations can hold deep meaning, and how the practice of noticing - both in nature and in our relationships - can bring us closer to connection, clarity, and care. We’ll also explore how this principle applies in the workplace, where intentional observation can strengthen trust, communication, and leadership.
Whether you're writing a poem, leading a team, or just trying to be more present in your daily life, learning to observe with intent can quietly transform the way you see—and feel—everything.
If you’d like to deepen this practice, we offer a virtual one-on-one coaching program called Quiet Contemplations, as well as team building and leadership workshops and retreats. Visit www.liveahaikulife.com or email liveahaikulife@gmail.com to learn more.

Until next time, may your moments be mindful, your connections meaningful, and your life a quiet current of presence and simplicity.
