Category: the year in haiku

Act not for reward
Not to be the centre point
Rather to do right

Slow down without guilt
It’s ok to just relax
Return replenished

No need to schedule
Sit back and accept the flow
Watch the unfolding

Each act of kindness
Shared freely with another
Will return to bless

Relax and unwind
Feel the sand beneath your feet
While waves break gently

The wags never stop
Even out in a downpour:
Irrepressible!

Improve your recall
Constantly remind yourself
Mindfulness will come

Don’t be limited
Age is only a number
Do all that you want

Always be prepared
Ready to surprise yourself
Push your boundaries

Flexibility:
Adapt to circumstances
Give what is needed

Give your best effort
Mindful of fragility
Know your own limits

Don’t skimp on effort
Give more than is expected
Life will pay you back

Believe in yourself
Know that it can be achieved
Now go and do it

Dig into the task
Effort is its own reward
Feel the benefits

Always see the good
Keep a positive outlook
‘For you’ not ‘to you’
