Category: the year in haiku

Give encouragement
To lighten another’s load
Don’t watch them struggle

Each precious moment
Will only have the once;
No time for ‘what if…?’

Leave no stone unturned
All things that have gone before
Are there to learn from

Eyes and mind open
See the opportunity
Do not pass it by

The journey is long
Break it down into small steps
Kaizen is the way

Live, learn, consider
Draw together all the strands
Weave your tapestry

Unstoppable time
Like sand slipping through fingers
It won’t be held back

Stone by patient stone
Laid on solid foundations
The structure is built

Fresh thoughts take their time
Insight can never be forced
It comes with patience

On tricky terrain
The will for perseverance
Will smooth out the bumps

Go the extra mile
Show willingness to adapt
It’s with the effort

Don’t compromise
Keep true to your core values
Express the real you

Mindful of deadlines
Make sure every effort counts
Keep up the pressure

Grace under pressure
Rising above reaction
With quiet dignity

The path is endless
When it all seems like too much 
Aim for smaller steps
