Category: the year in haiku

Beneath the surface
Turbulent chaos recedes
Calmness is restored

Just like any skill
Be mindful of mindfulness
Lest it fizzle out

The tides ebb and flow
As one cycle comes to end
Another begins

Procrastination
It can become a habit
If you allow it

Commit to progress
Do not get in your own way
To each challenge: “Yes”

Asking so little
Yet always giving so much
Thank you faithful pups

Remain positive
You can’t force recovery
Be patient, dig deep

Millions of choices
Each one adding to the last:
Life is what you choose

The body must heal
Allow it time to repair
It will not be rushed

Silence the bustle 
A time for self-reflection
What does it all mean?

The comforts of life:
Accept them with thanks and grace
Then share what you can

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
