Category: the year in haiku

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

Don’t look at the hole
Concentrate on the doughnut
That’s what’s important

Silence the voices
In the midst of confusion
Find inner guidance

Good health can’t be rushed
Patience is of the essence
Don’t lose confidence

Aspire to the best
Speak kindly about yourself
Become your vision
