On the Ganges’ Banks

In my mind’s eye
On the Ganges banks
Sunlight rises from the east
Comparative silence
As the city returns to life

Mindfulness in Chaos

Facing down chaos 

Though I spend time focusing

New demands arise 

Today’s Haiku: Seeking Greatness

As I seek greatness
I look for something richer
Than mere dominance

What are we seeking?

Pursuing Excellence 


Believe in God’s light

Become the best I can be 

Pursue excellence 

Ownership is Empowerment

Ownership gives strength

The problems of someone else
Will never get solved

A haiku which considers the importance of owning our problems, and empowering ourselves to find solutions.

Forward Motion

It’s always time 

For forward motion

To step away from my past

Into my future

As the present fades

Into dust 

Flowers: sharing a poem from O at the edges

via Flowers

A lovely poem

I delight in flower’s grace

Words of elegance

A Monday fear 

Nervousness wakes me 

A meeting with high pressure 

I’m lacking self-trust 

Another day begins

Another day begins

Accept my limitations

Find my strengths: excel!
