Category: the year in haiku

Don’t see it as work
Self improvement is your due 
What else would you do?

Base camp just behind
Still a mountain to ascend
Don’t be overwhelmed

Soft sound of birdsong
Orange glow filters through leaves
Shadows dance lightly

Trust your convictions
Don’t be put off by self doubt
Just give it your best

Assess the options
Consider all the angles
Find the perfect blend

Be calm and steady
Patience underlies all progress
Nothing forced endures 

With each inward breath
Feel the life force circulate
Awakening strength

With bold decisions
Backed up by self confidence
Come greater rewards

Invert your thinking
Work back from what you desire
A true game changer

Out in the sunshine
Soak up the healing goodness
Revival assured

See through the fake smiles
Understand what lies beneath
Be sure where you stand

Steady improvement
Almost imperceptible
Steady nonetheless

Take a pause to breathe
Feel the pressure dissipate
Continue refreshed

Balance the vayus 
The miracle of the breath
The pulse of all life

All life in union 
Don’t intellectualise
Some things must be felt
