A Haiku About Strategic Thinking
So many demands
Assets pulled so many ways
Success needs focus
I’m exploring my options regarding blogging. I love this, but also feel compelled to focus. Come read more of my thoughts over on this post.
Remember that we have the power to pursue joy
Antidote to fear
Focus on the positive
Create your own joy
Resisting Rage’s Allure
I try to resist
Our culture’s lusting for rage
Focusing on light
A Monday Morning Haiku
This new day begins
Filled with opportunity
As the daylight grows
The Flower’s Voice
As summer begins
Plenty of sunshine and warmth
A flower’s voice heard
A Father’s Day Haiku
A joyous privilege
To watch these children grow up
Perhaps be helpful
Fatherhood is an amazing privilege. Watching, not just my son, but all these kids around him, grow into these interesting and amazing young men and women fills me with pride and wonder.
Sleeping Through The Night Is A Wonderful Thing
Darkness fades to light
Though I missed this while I slept
Blessed my restless mind
Sleeping solidly through the night is such a wonderful thing. With the mania of modern life, it’s also somewhat rare.
Daylight’s Motion
Daylight moves slowly
Gently across the park’s grass
Dew disappearing
Awake Too Early
My relentless mind
In perpetual motion
Sleeping’s a challenge
Awake against my will
Dreaming of dreaming
Longing for slumber
The machinery of my mind
Psychological cogs churn and spin
Whirring hum of my soul
