As the New Year dawns,
May the trials of the last one
Remain in the past.
The Heart Of The Traveller
Through hardship and trials
The heart of the traveller
Attains perfection
Gentle Pad Of Paws
Gentle pad of paws.
Sunlight glistens through a hedge,
Shining on soft fur.
After The Solstice
After the solstice
Daylight steadily returns
To cheer wintry hearts.
A Time To Study
A time to study;
The mind, craving enrichment
Seeks out new learning
In Quiet Contemplation
Ask this of yourself
In quiet contemplation:
How am I growing?
Seasonal Gifts
Full heart, full belly.
A day filled with gratitude
For seasonal gifts.
Seasons Greetings
Christmas Eve is drawing to a close, and all the family preparations for the big day are done; to quote Kermit the Frog: ‘There’s only one more sleep til Christmas’.
The last thing remaining to do before that sleep is to send a message of love for Christmas and the coming New Year.
As I’m still in the middle of my ‘thirty days of journalling’ experiment, I thought I would share today’s haiku (lucky you):
May love and kindness Reign supreme this Christmas time; Peace to all the world.
May all your all your hopes and dreams for 2023 come true.
Love And Kindness
May love and kindness
Reign supreme this Christmas time.
Peace to all the world.
A Carpet Of Frost
A carpet of frost
As far as the eye can see:
A white overcoat.
An Ever-Flowing Stream
The passage of time
Like an ever-flowing stream
Beats out its rhythm
The Obstacle Is The Way
Don’t fear the hard task.
The obstacle is the way,
To be overcome.
Persistence
The challenge is set.
Persistence will win the day
If will is sustained.
Fear And Doubt
Fear and doubt creep in.
Would that the mind could stay strong
To face them head on.
Wind And Rain
Wind and rain have come
To wash away ice and snow;
Grey replaces white.
