Here’s my Tuesday morning haiku meditation:
Politics of rage
Why are we so negative?
This land of plenty

Despair Lies
Despair’s a liar
There’s always a way forwards
Hints of dawn’s colors
I know how easy it is get lost in fear, my mind racing with destructive dreams. It’s corrosive to my joy.
Fears and Darkness
Fears and darkness
Which the night births
Then magnifies
Calmed by
Daylight
Don’t Let Fears Win
Within modern life
Fears can twist out of control
Yet our souls greater
Fears and insecurities cause much mischief if left unchecked.
And there’s always a,way forward.
Listening to Fear
Fear has great wisdom
Face it boldly and head-on
Always stay mindful
This is a profound challenge for me. I do not like the sensation of fear. Yet I know it’s a required sensation for growth.
As we push ourselves outside our “comfort zone”, fear holds sway. Listen to it, see what it’s trying to say, look for truth. Is there something real to be afraid of, or is it the unknown, the simple possibility of failure? When you’ve done such, answers tend you be intuitively obvious.
An early morning meditation
The doom of choosing
I’m afraid of being wrong
Predawn tree’s stillness
Fear Has Plenty Of Company
There are many fears
They will never be lonely
I can leave them be
It’s so hard, sometimes, to disentangle from my fears. They are so deeply interwoven into my life. Yet I’ve rooted out many over the years.
May you be freed from fear’s inertia. From its attempts to rob you of joy and wonder.
And may your Sunday recharge and invigorate you.
Risk Avoidance
Taught risk avoidance
Always so vigorously
Hence why fear haunts me
The Darkness and the Light
Darkness and the light
Elements of all our lives
Don’t give in to fear
Finding oneself aligned with the light, it’s easy to be afraid of the darkness within us.
Sometimes I wonder
I wonder if I would’ve resisted the Nazis had I lived in WWII Germany. Would I have been able to resist my fears, of the ever present Gestapo.
Do you think you would’ve risked your life?
