Category: the year in haiku

Despite our wishes
Time will not flow back upstream;
Live for the future.

Tide at lowest ebb,
Years of scars come into view;
See  what lies beneath.

Do not just read, act.
Put your learning to practice,
Make something better.

Do not resist it;
The flow of life will guide you
Where you need to go.

Accept who you are,
The author of your own life.
Use your power well.

Endlessly flowing,
We can never encounter 
The same river twice.

Always strive for more;
No matter how hard you try,
You can be better.

It’s not the mountain
But the pebble in your shoe
That will grind you down.

In this together;
Remember we’re connected,
What’s bad for the hive…

Improve step by step
‘Done’ is better than ‘perfect’
Each little piece counts

Recover quickly;
Even when you drop the ball
The game continues

Waves break on the shore
 We do not judge their effort
 But admire their strength

Ripples in a pond
Reflect back where they came from;
Just like emotions.

A walk in the park
 Thankful for simple pleasures
Shared with furry friends

Your self-discipline;
No-one else signed up for it,
You and only you.
