05/17/25 A New Haiku for A New Day

Roam unthinkingly
Feel the dreams I never had
Aspire to nothing

Blast from the Past:

When Nothing is lost,
And everything changes,
There’s nothing to gain.

The enchanted dream
Of stupidity, nothing
Is worth the trouble

Blast from the Past:

Ordinary family
Distorted self-perception
Stupid importance

Racing downwards as
Quickly as possible to
Appease gravity

Blast from the Past:

You lose your hope most
When you think you have all that
You need in your life

I’m my soul’s riches
No landscape but what we see
Inability to dream

Blast from the Past:

You lose your hope most
When you think you have all that
You need in your life

All life is a dream
Nostalgia’s impotence
Beauty all alone

Blast from the Past:

Reclusively you
The dream is different here
It’s a state of mind

To avoid thinking,
Not reflecting; for some that’s
What it means to live

Blast from the Past:

The fool entices,
“This is just the way things are.
Don’t overthink it.”

Soft hands and warm oil
Stretch, relax, and moisturize,
Getting a massage

Blast from the Past:

Sometimes you must learn
To gently calm down. Take time
To relax and heal.

Every small bump
Becomes a source of worry
But is just a bump

Blast from the Past:

Why worry about
The future? There is too much
Life to be lived now.

Life is growth, so if
We’re not growing together,
We’re growing apart

Blast from the Past:

Grow what is working,
And then improve what is not.
Iterative process.

Think of today’s acts.
Would death taking them be bad?
Live the life you want.

Blast from the past (an aphorism):

Action is all we have until we die, so to avoid taking action is to decide to die early.
