Category: the year in haiku

Don’t seek validation
If you know what you have done
Then that will suffice

Take it in your stride
Always a mountain to climb
Keep chipping away

Dark clouds gathering.
Heavy rains refresh the ground
Air is cool once more.

Will-power will flag,
Sometimes it just can’t be helped.
Find strength to push on.

When choices seem scarce,
Don’t fear to grasp the nettle;
If indeed you must.

From out of the blue,
You didn’t see it coming.
Take stock and move on.

Show your gratitude;
Reciprocate the good will,
Kindness for kindness.

Be more than before,
Do not choose the lesser self:
Fulfil potential.

When the road is long:
Patience and steady effort,
Tools to win the day.

There will still be faults,
Even when you try your best;
Look to learn, not blame.

All is in motion
In a constant state of flux.
Try to stay grounded.

Not to receive praise,
But to have done the right thing:
This is the true prize.

Exercise is good,
Careful not to overdo;
Respect your limits.

Look closely and see:
Every day is a good day
If the mind allows.

We seek our fortune
While hidden under our feet;
Acres of diamonds.
