I’m Awaiting Dawn: Today’s Haiku

This morning’s haiku is connected to waking up too dang early. I’m awaiting my pending alarm. 

Always seek to grow

Always seeking growth

And to manage all my fears

Become what I want 

It’s frightening, at times, to always seek growth. It requires constant reminders to watch for fear, the temptation to be comfortable. As a writer and artist, I see how critical it is to push boundaries. Mine as well as others. Perhaps mine are the most important boundaries to smash through. Destroying that which holds me back, which robs me of joy.

I will resist fear 

For I long to seek out joy

And find potential

I’ve let fear run my life far too long. Fear of failure, of rejection. This paralyzes, destroying opportunity. This I resist. 

The Growth Mindset

Seeking out purpose
And positive energy
For I long to grow

I focus on a growth mindset. Always pushing back on fears and challenging my limiting believes. It’s not easy, but always worth it.

A Haiku For A Summer’s Evening

The day’s heat lingers
Sunlight blocked by the mountains
Summer’s kind mercies

It was a warm one today. Especially by Seattle standards. Got some walking in, a little shopping, farmers market time, chatting friends…all things that build connection and community.
