Haiku Life
The Haiku Life Podcast, is where we take a little exploration into some Abbreviated life moments with a haiku as its base.
In a world so overwhelmingly immersive, a haiku is a moment of respite.
The haiku in this podcast series are mine. Moments of life. Thoughts in the ether.

Episode 15 - Amsterdam Present: Amsterdam on Ice
The Amsterdam I knew in the past - suspended on ice. Looking as much as it did in the 17th century, as it did in 1996 and now 30 years later. What Golden Ages mean now, and why we should settle more for Golden Moments.
