Category: the year in haiku

Prioritise self
Exhaustion saps all your good
Pause and breathe deeply

Aspirations high
Expectations have been set
Progress must be earned

Pure mindful focus
It is perfect as it is
Nothing to improve

Diligence pays off
Nothing comes back to bite you
All is in order

Under the pale glow
All is disruption and change
The new order comes

Persistence pays off
What seemed insurmountable
Has now been conquered

Dig deep to find strength
The journey is arduous
But nearly complete

Feel confidence build
Practice mounts up steadily
Thus, new skills are learned

In over your head?
Stay calm, keep treading water
Trust you can do this

The will can weaken
You must choose to carry on
Commit to complete 

So much confusion
It will never all make sense
Trust in the process

Put away judgement
Don’t look for faults in others
Or you will find them

Take hold the nettle
Nothing worthwhile is easy
It all must be earned

Take a welcome break
A pause from the great bustle
Recoup and recharge

A deep chill descends
Frost and snow cover the ground
Wind bites deep and hard
