We are unable
To summon basic respect
For views not our own
As long as we, as a culture, or as a species, struggle to summon basic respect and dignity for each other, we will fail.
Category: Daily Haiku
I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
My goal: to post at least one haiku a day.
A reflection on Avengers Infinity War
Thanos’ power
Can what’s been done be undone?
So much for my mind
So many questions after Infinity War, round 1. I’m left reeling a bit. Let’s puzzle through this, shall we?
More reflections over the next little bit.
The Perils Of Writing
This writer’s journey
Fraught with perils of the heart
Facing down my fear
As I write, my mind drags out random, destructive talk. The act of posting challenges sensations of inadequacy. Thus I post, refusing to let the destructive voices within me win.
My afternoon walk
An afternoon walk
Journeying through the quiet
With only my mind
A Haiku As I Listen To Music This EveningÂ
Such tranquil music
Carrying my soul skyward
Glorious nighttime
May you might be restful and you awake rejuvenated.
The Clover Is Blooming
Clover is blooming
Sunlight pushing through the clouds
Springtime’s joy persists
Your mind is your strength
My mind is my strength
It is all I can control
The root of my soul
This Spring MorningÂ
This early morning
Birdsong dances in the air
Dawn climbing the trees
Blossoms from Buds
Standing in sunlight
Buds changing into blossoms
Spring’s evolution
The sun is up. It’s time to change the world!
The sun is now up
It’s time to change the world
You are important
There’s so much work to be done to make this world kinder, just and equitable.
