Category: the year in haiku

Try something different
Who knows what may lie in store?
Unexpected joys

Eager to expand
Immerse yourself in new things
Enrich your thinking

Set your future plans
Only in the broadest terms
Wait to see what comes

Think not in anger
Judge not lest you too be judged
Hold your tongue and smile

Sun dips in the sky
Waves kissed by its gentle glow
Breeze whispers: “Goodnight”

All cares left behind
Just the lapping of the waves
To distract the mind

At the journey’s end
A long day in the saddle
Feet up and relax

Practice makes perfect
‘Inspired’ will get you started
Persistence endures

Caught in the eternal ‘now’
Gone but here comes the next one
Mind you don’t waste it

Don’t boast of your plans
Quietly and without fuss
Seek out your purpose

The wisdom of age
That which seemed unbearable
Is laughable now

No need to lament
Beautiful and yet broken
Kintsugi restores

You have the support
Show the will to recover 
You might be surprised

Lay plans with patience
Pick your time to implement
No need to be rushed

A weak mind gives in
Don’t be limited by fear
Stay calm, overcome
