In the space between
Letters breathe intense fierceness
Slam into regrets

Lessons learned about life; pearls of wisdom I’ve gleaned through pain, failure and honest reflection

Invective and rage,
Today’s social currency.
Fire consuming all
Destructive vs Challenging Oneself
Holding yourself to a high standard and beating yourself mercilessly for not being perfect reflect two sides of a singularity. But they are not the same. One’s the path towards self-destruction and one leads to a vibrant and vigorous life. Focus on self-care and maintaining realistic expectations, and the rest will naturally fall into place.
A Binary Haiku
One zero zero
Zero one zero one one
One one zero one
Fearfulness
Distant echoes play
Emotions raised from my past
Words obscured by time.
Insecurities
Insecurities
Flickering across my mind
Sleep brutalized
Today’s Haiku Challenge: Long
Critical to climb
Ascend to the greatest heights
Thus see the long view
My response to “Today’s @baffled #HaikuChallenge: any haiku you like, as long as it has the word ‘long’ in it….” on Twitter.
Soul’s Creation
Journeys create souls
Deepening our deepest depths
First step: send ourselves.
Meditation: Mastery
Impatience destroys quality;
Feeds the tyrrany of the “NOW”,
Raging inferno of immediate perfection.
Devaluing mastery’s glorious gifts.
Quality bears manifold delights
Ones lost upon our gone-in-a-blink minds.
We’ve lost something powerful,
Traded for empty consumer shells.
The sculptor’s calloused hands
Have no short-cut. Each nick,
Wear, rub of creation, crafting
Builds knowledge, deepest skills.
Mastery: quality can’t be bought
It must be earned with each step,
Journeying: critical. Motions,
Thousands, in summation: gestalt.
Thought of the Day: Pursuing Greatness
Nothing great ever happened by rigidly adhering to the status quo.
