This world’s rages wearying
Compassion’s grace derided
Misery and grief

Haiku
This morning’s haiku
The summertime heat
This morning’s air brings relief
With a chance of rain
Interdependence
Independence fails
There’s so much more, please look to
Interdependence
Career Meditation: Accepting what I don’t know
Embracing my fear
Stepping into the unknown
So much I don’t know
I realized this morning how much I’ve struggled with my new job. I’m in a new industry and doing very different work. And i’s been a long time since I’ve stretched myself like this. It’s been fearful, but good. I need to push myself forward. It’s far too easy to settle into easy, no risk, safe work. I need to push through that fear and keep growing, stay alive and vibrant.
Arguments On The Internet: A Haiku
Online arguments
Publicly correct their faults
So tempting sometimes
Irs so easy to get caught up in how wrong some people can be that we lose sight of our deeper values.
Compassion Focused
My attention fixed
Focusing on compassion
Driving us forward
Fighting Insecurities
Insecurities torment
My broken psyche
Bringing out internal pain
Denying my gifts
Dragging on my dreams
I shall resist
Love this image I found over at The Odyssey Online. Definitely go give them a look.
My Life’s Path: A Haiku
This path
Of respect and dignity
Satisfies deeply
A Meditation On Beauty, And Our Cruel Nature
Life’s immense beauty
Gets overshadowed sometimes
By crass destruction
It concerns me, at times, how much we prefer destructive rhetoric over the positive. There are times I wonder if we, as a group, know how.
