Begin each day strong
Focus on what you do well
Facing down your fears
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.
Love Is All You Need
Love is all you need
Against rampant cruelty
Bigotry destroys
Cultural brutality destroys beauty. I found this video powerful, disturbing and thoughtful. I present to you: “Love Is All You Need”, exploring sexuality, bullying, and the social pressure to conform.
This late autumn night
This late autumn night
A light shines in the darkness
Moon and stars guiding
Find Your Greatness
Face adversity
Fill yourself with grace and strength
Find your own greatness
Negative Self-Talk
Awake in the night
Fear whispering in my ear
White noise of deceit
Simplicity
Simplicity’s grace
Enjoying “less” in this life
Minimalism
This evening’s walk
A rather warm evening for the end of November. I walked off a few of the feast’s calories, peering at the stars through Seattle’s clouds.
A Thanksgiving Haiku For You
Grace in gratitude
The humbleness of our spirit
Thanksgiving’s healing
I hope each end every one of you felt blessed and loved today…and on all days.
Dreaming of the Sky
Underneath the rain
The sky above beckons me
Freedom of the sky
Sometimes I wonder
I wonder if I would’ve resisted the Nazis had I lived in WWII Germany. Would I have been able to resist my fears, of the ever present Gestapo.
Do you think you would’ve risked your life?
