The Wondrous Winterthur Walking Cure is a lyrical meditation on walking, nature, memory, and renewal. Born from the author's experience of grief and burnout, this collection of 75 haiku and mandalas transforms ordinary walks through Winterthur Garden and New Castle County into moments of attention, reflection, and refuge.
Through birdsong, ancient trees, changing seasons, flowers, family memories, and encounters with loss, the poems invite readers to slow down and notice the beauty and mystery surrounding them. Each haiku becomes a small act of mindfulness, a way of making meaning, honoring impermanence, and finding buoyancy when life feels overwhelming.
A tribute to Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library and Delaware State Parks, this collection offers more than poetry. It offers a practice: walk, notice, breathe, remember, and discover the possibility of healing along the way.
