Quiet Currents: Experience the World, One Haiku at a Time

Cape Lookout, 1999: A Sunset, A Beginning, and The Gift of Impermanence


Listen Later

Have you ever experienced a moment so still, so specific, that it reshaped your understanding of time itself?

In this episode of Quiet Currents, host Kenneth Pearson, Founder of Live a Haiku Life, shares the fifth principle in this mindful journey: Appreciating Transience. With the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop and the scent of salt air in the breeze, Kenneth takes us back to 1999 - to a quiet, unexpected moment on a beach in Cape Lookout, Oregon. It was here, in the soft hush of a setting sun, that the awareness of impermanence first took hold.

This story becomes a doorway into a larger reflection on how fleeting moments hold lasting beauty, not because they stay, but because they don’t. From poetry to presence, from personal growth to leadership, this episode invites you to see the value in what passes, to show up fully, and to let each moment be enough.

Whether you’re navigating change, seeking stillness, or simply trying to pay closer attention, Cape Lookout, 1999: A Sunset, A Beginning, and The Gift of Impermanence offers a gentle reminder: nothing lasts forever, and that’s where the beauty lives.
