You Are Wonderful: Tonight’s Haiku
You are wonderful
Celebrate all your beauty
Leaves upon the breeze
Pleaee, always remember how wonderful you are. Celebrate it, delight in it, share yourself with the world. Make it a better place.
Our fears lie
The lie of our fears:
We’d rather face our regrets
Than fail at passion
It is important to learn the lies our psyche tells us. This holds us back from soi very much. Let’s stand against this together, shall we?
#Insecurities: A #Haiku
Meditating on things that hamper growth. Insecurities fill that for me. Especially as they’re often unfounded and irrational, to the point of annoyance. Well, that’s how I feel when I can step back and look set them rationally.
Writing is one way I cope. Putting them down on paper helps me deeply.
Also, this shows me the power of daily affirmations. Taking the time to deliberately challenge these destructive mental models…actually, proactively challenging them, is important. Stay ahead of the corrosion.
A Seattle Autumn: A Haiku
As I look skyward
The memories fill my mind
Seattle’s autumns
It’s time to rise and shine, I suppose. It’s easy to resist wakefulness, isn’t it? I messed my back up, which makes my motivation to wake that much weaker.
I hope your Monday goes well, and that you’re moving forward towards your goals.
A Sunday morning haiku
As dawn climbs the sky
How do i better myself?
Birds sing their answer
It’s a challenge for me to focus on the future, to create a vision. It’s much easier to live in this moment. But it leaves gaps in my psyche I try to fill. This is perpetual for me.
An early evening haiku
With darkness falling
The sun shining from down low
Easily through trees
A Dim Sum Haiku
Flavors of China
Dancing upon my palette
I can eat outdoors
Tonight’s haiku is about dim sum.
My life: currently in transition. The current job comes to end in five weeks. So I actively seek my next opportunity. It’s there. I feel it. I’m excited about what the future holds. Yet, I don’t know where it is. Uncertainty presents challenges, certainly. I write more about that here.
