A Haiku About Self-Confidence

For many people
Confidence is so fragile
Damaging our hope
I hope your Wednesday brings you joy, and realization of your uniquely wonderful gifts. 

Getting To Win-Win

You can’t get win-win 

By being driven by your fears 

Only love drives this 

Listening to the Spirit of Compassion

We love violence

This spirit of compassion

Still calling to us

Compassionate Life

Seek to build them up

Shine more light into the darkness

Compassionate life

The dialog of invective

I refuse
  This dialog
   Of invective;
Demeaning
   And
     Devaluing
       Each other
For I believe
In community;
Society:
  It’s what
    Enables
     Humanity
      To thrive;
To survive

My deepest wish 

​may I grant some strength 

in times of adversity 

peaceful compassion 

Compassion’s Flow

Remember dear friends
Seek out love and compassion
Flow through you and out

Growing beyond surviving

Anyone who seeks to turn
Trauma and horrors’ emotional energy
Towards compassion and kindness
Embraces the deepest wisdom.

Our culture has a dearth of love.
I applaud all those who
Long to grow that seed.

The need is great.
