Category: the year in haiku

Step by patient step
Be the change you want to see;
Don’t wait for others.

Ears flap in the breeze,
Wind ruffles furry noses.
Big sniffs in long grass.

Brighter days ahead;
The long march out of winter
Approaches it’s end.

Growth is possible
When we no longer accept
What offends our soul

Help others to grow
Give advice with compassion
Criticism wounds 

Don’t turn a blind eye:
A kind word to a stranger
Is a priceless gift

The circle of life,
Like the passing of seasons;
Constant renewal

Time spent with true friends;
A gift with more than pure gold.
Amass your fortune

Persistence, desire,
Definiteness of purpose
Make thoughts powerful.

Unfailingly true,
The sands of the hour glass
Measure out their task.

Act now on your goals,
Live each day as though your last:
Memento morí.

Advance step by step,
A little progress each day:
The small things add up.

When faced with a choice,
Possibility for growth
Lies on the hard path

Take care to live well,
Do away with old evils;
Your daily study.

Enjoy the outdoors,
Feel connected to the Earth;
Be part of the whole.
