Category: the year in haiku

Stranger than fiction
Hidden truths of history
Buried in the clues

Look for life’s lessons
Mistakes should teach, not punish
A chance to improve

Keep the mind focused
Alone in contemplation
Without discomfort

Checklists completed
A busy week well ended
Time now to unwind

Unplanned but welcome
The unexpected small wins
Every little counts

Your destination:
So close, and yet still so far
Enjoy the journey

All the little gains
Can easily be undone
Without attention

Learn from your mentors;
Following in their footsteps
Show others the way

True enlightenment:
Observe the ordinary
See it with new eyes

True contemplation:
Not a technique to master,
A state to allow

Awareness of self:
Not happiness or sadness
But something deeper

Not simply a wave
You are the deep wide ocean
Uncontainable

Don’t question your path
Press on with an open mind
The way will appear

Momentum waivers:
Don’t lose sight of your vision
Re-commit to it

Think positively
Don’t be held back by your doubts
Just grasp the nettle
