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

04/28/25 A New Haiku for a New Day
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
04/20/25 A New Haiku for a New Day
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.”
04/01/25 A New Haiku for a New Day
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.
03/29/25 A New Haiku for a New Day
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.
02/19/25 A New Haiku for A New Day
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.
02/06/25 A New Haiku for a New Day
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.
01/25/25 A New Day, A New Haiku
Your legacy turns
To how others remake you
Till you’re forgottenPosthumous title: Death from This World
Blast from the Past:
How long will it take
Until everything I do
Will be forgotten?
01/07/2025 Haiku for the Day
You will never be
Satisfied in life until
You choose to just be
Blast from the Past:
I push up the stone,
Pledging to help Sisyphus,
Freedom in routine
(I really like this photo, since it does a great job reflecting both poems. To me, it’s like the boy just chooses to be and is smiling behind the rocks while helping Sisyphus.)
1/1/25 Haiku for the Day
Made my resolutions.
Now is the time to go hard
And fail at each one
Blast from the Past:
New revolution
In our random time cycle,
Supposed new me
