Category: the year in haiku

The highest ideals
Demand the highest efforts
Nothing less will do

So much to be done
The time for action is now
No time for delay

Avoid the extremes
All things in life must balance
Aim for the middle

Change and disruption:
See an impetus for growth
Embrace it gladly

Quieten racing thoughts
The answer will become clear
Within the stillness

Be good at your craft 
Bring excellence to each task
Take pride in your work

Unlock potential
Trust in your abilities
Then use them wisely

Eight feet pad gently
Leads jangling as they press on
Taking in the scents

Live in each moment
You only have this time once
Blink and it is gone

Don’t punish yourself
Mistakes are bound to happen
Forgiveness is key

Respond not react
Don’t jump in without thinking
Take time to process

Nothing comes for free
New skills are hard to acquire
The toll must be paid

Sit back and observe
It doesn’t help to react
Thought before action

When things are unclear
The reason may be obscured
In time you will know

In constant motion
From one cycle to the next
Everything changes
