A Coffee Haiku For Your Sunday

A coffee haiku for your Sunday morning

The grace of mornings
Facilitate my heartbeat
Glorious, warm darkness

May your day be blessed indeed.

My heart sings this time of year

Quote of the Day: October 4, 2019

Avoiding criticism
Avoiding criticism quote by Aristotle

Someone, somewhere, won’t like you no matter what you do. If you’re the nicest person ever, someone will despise you for being nice.

Therefore, be true to yourself.

A Seahawks Haiku

Fans with explosives
The Seahawks have a new win
Evening distortions

Tonight’s haiku is inspired by my neighbors who are loudly celebrating the Seahawks win.

Is This Gary Snyder or Obi Wan Kenobi?

Maybe I’m just silly, but I see similarities here. Maybe I like Snyder so much because he’s a Jedi Master?

#Insecurities: A #Haiku

Meditating on things that hamper growth. Insecurities fill that for me. Especially as they’re often unfounded and irrational, to the point of annoyance. Well, that’s how I feel when I can step back and look set them rationally. 

Writing is one way I cope. Putting them down on paper helps me deeply. 

Also, this shows me the power of daily affirmations. Taking the time to deliberately challenge these destructive mental models…actually, proactively challenging them, is important. Stay ahead of the corrosion. 

A Happy Birthday Haiku

A Happy Birthday to Me Haiku!

As I expect most of you know, I have a thing for writing haiku. I actually have a whole blog dedicated to them. They’re fun and packed with meaning in such a small package.

Since today’s my birthday, it seemed like a fun subject.

Anyway, enjoy! And enjoy the day. Seattle’s looking to have quite a lovely one.
