Murphy's Law (Haiku)

If it can it will
Unless you pay attention
You must stay awake

The Undone To Do (Haiku)

The undone To Do
Looms big, like a large bubble
And pops when it's done

Merry Christmas (Haiku)

At Christmas we see
The best and the worst of kids
And perhaps us too

Did Or Didn't Do (Haiku)

Is it accomplished?
What I am supposed to do?
How would I know it?

The meaning of faith
Is to do day after day
What seems to be right.

Seventy-seven
A long time to not find out
But does anyone?

Anonymity (Haiku)

Anonymity
Eschewing celebrity
Living in shadow

Free to roam at will
No mob of paparazzi
Walking wherever

In the restaurant
Enjoying those at table
Ignored by others

An inner circle
Of equals enjoying life
All mutual friends

No calls at midnight
From a drunken stranger fan
Peacefully sleeping

Why We Are Negative

We seem to have a natural tendency towards negativity, hostility, and defensiveness, which may be inbred from when we lived a more vulnerable life.  It was vulnerable to dangerous surroundings, beasts, and people.  The safety of the cave, perhaps feeling like the womb,  was the only time we could let down our guard.  Being sensitive to danger is what enabled us to survive and because the wary survived, we are wary.  And throughout  our history it hasn't changed that much.

 Part of The Work seems to be a struggle against all of this and to get back to Eden, where we can be at peace and live in harmony with the world.

The Times of Our Lives (Haiku)

The times of our lives
Are past, present, and future
We use all of them

Solace in the past
Because it never changes
We've been there, done that

Present, less certain
We think we can control it
Give it your best try

Future, up for grabs
No one knows what it will bring
Yet it must happen

There may be one more
But not during this lifetime
It would come later
