Category: the year in haiku

Balance your choices
Seek every alternative
Weigh up its merit

Look on in wonder:
The first step to all wisdom
Be amazed and awed

With integrity
The process not the outcome
Every step matters

Lost in the moment
Appreciate it fully
Be thankful for it

Take time to relax
Recharge flagging batteries
Replenish vigour

Keep an open mind
New challenges will arise
Step up to greet them

Focus on the now 
See what is in front of you
Deal with those things first

Work to make your breaks
Seize the opportunity
Don’t let it pass by

Not just black and white
All shades of grey exist too 
Subtly merging

A scrunching of pebbles
The gentle lap of the tide
Gulls bob up and down

Right under your nose
The thing you were looking for
Don’t lose sight of it

Breathe in the sea air 
Breathe out all stress and worry
Drift off with the tide

Consistent effort
A resistant new habit
The need for patience

Can you not hear it?
The sound of one hand clapping
Riotous applause

Relieve the burden
The constant search for answers
Not all are needed
