Category: the year in haiku

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.

In provocation,
Your choice to react or not;
Your greatest power.

Be eager to help;
When any one of us fails
We all step backwards.

Interconnected;
A blind eye to others’ needs
Harms each one of us.

The power of thought,
Like the pull of gravity;
Inexorable.

There’s plenty to share,
Except the will to share it.
Give with a glad heart.

The only limit
Is what you can imagine.
Go forth fearlessly.

Stiff sea-breeze blows.
Wet sand squashes under foot.
Winter won’t stop us.

Try not to react.
Anger hurts only the self,
So choose gentleness.

Let go of the past.
A sieve cannot store water;
Impermanence reigns.
