Four in the Morning
With all of the news about War and Sickness, I have been up quite a lot at four in the morning. So far I have about 100 pages of these Four Word Haikus. So this is just a small sample. The full work will be released in the not so distant future as Four in the Morning.
Right livelihood is fundamental
Honesty builds the soul
Courage lets us explore
Kindness heals us all
Humility makes us human
Thinking gives us time
Time comes from thought
Philosophy is a Playground
Religion is not easy
Progress is an Illusion
Illusion is what isn’t
Make time for Noting
Take Walks every day
Make Doors in Divisions
Always look out Windows
Let the light in
Learn to read well
Learn to listen quietly
Don’t tempt the Gods
Hold your love gently
Break your habits daily
Speak often with Neighbors
Cast your spells carefully
Sing when you can
Dance to the Beat
Travel as a Traveler
Stand tall with allies
Be busy while Alone
Find fault if wise
Look out for corners
Make roads that last
Fight Fire with Water
Move Mountains with Belief
Have Mercy on yourself
Be kind when angry
Look the other Way
Reach out to Strangers
Don’t ever stop Believing
Watch the grass grow
Wait your turn patiently
Continue with your madness
Remember who you are
Find strength in Holiness
Some Rivers are deep
Always marvel at rain
We come from Dirt
Four Words Book Two
Find your good side
Let the other wither
Pride rarely works well
If the road forks
Take it with courage
Learn to moon walk
Become a good magician
Wander aimlessly on occasion
If you can’t sleep
Do something that matters
Work on people skills
Squeaky wheels get grease
Sometimes they get replaced
Be a good loser
Be a better winner
Set your goals daily
Don’t eat too much
Remember to remember names
Don’t burn many bridges
If you hurt someone
Try to fix it
Stay fit when old
Take adventures when young
Don’t ever be afraid
Make fear an ally
Always see the stars
Keep your friends close
And your enemies closer
Learn that jealousy corrodes
Be strong when weakened
Be gentle when strong
Art that is best
Is often said least
Men have hard hearts
But they bleed easily
Children must be nurtured
Especially when they’re old
Good parents are impermanent
Learn to hear yourself
Particularly when you’re talking
Learn to visualize outcomes
Give Peace a Chance
Violence is very effective
But the shadow lingers
