With hope
we hold on
with hope
we stretch far
with hope
we dare to dream
with hope
we don’t unravel
at the seams
never lose hope
Sometimes,
that is truly all that we have.

With hope
we hold on
with hope
we stretch far
with hope
we dare to dream
with hope
we don’t unravel
at the seams
never lose hope
Sometimes,
that is truly all that we have.
Soft cooing sounds of comfort
the dove reminds,
the land is richly green
I felt a bit rusty writing this haiku. It’s been many months of no practice but after several attempts, I managed to cobble something that I like.
Thank you for an interesting prompt Ronovan. Grass & Dove
I am pregnant with exciting possibilities and filled with great expectations.

You have to keep speaking the life that you want into existence. Speak as if it already is, even when things don’t look that way because things do change. Though you may be down, there’s no other way to go but up.

Sometimes hurting sits like a heavy rock that sinks your spirit,
sometimes pain leaves tracks wider than a railroad,
sometimes despair runs so deep that it seems bottomless,
sometimes giving up becomes a relief that beckons so softly;
……
Those times when life has become such trying tedium,
that getting through each day seems an untold hardship,
I hate to offer platitudes that this too shall pass,
but my soul whisper to yours, don’t you ever give up!
……
Words I share with you, I share with myself,
the encouragement that I give you, I give to myself,
for I’ve found that whoever we are and wherever we are from,
we are all the same balancing our struggles on this journey called life.

Don’t give up on today, you have no idea what tomorrow has to offer. Just wait and see
When lost don’t panic,
just leave little marks of hope on your path
and
they will lead you home.

There are times that we feel overwhelmingly lost, but this doesn’t mean that your life is doomed. It spells a transition and transformation. The key is not to get stuck in your current rut, but to tap into your hopeful and creative power to redirect your steps back to the life and you that you love.
Apply these 7 simple tips as often as you need to help yourself out of that state.
With the frenetic lifestyle that we live and the persistent mind chatter, it’s easy to drown out those signs that speak to us, which is why it’s important to create silence and listen. Life offers us divine messages through various means – songs, billboards, books, nature, the people we meet etc. When we keep our eye’s and minds open we receive guidance and take notice of more.
You get to choose how you feel, what you think, what you do etc. You are empowered to create the life you wish for and it’s important to focus on the positive things around you. The power of attraction makes it such that the Universe will send you more of the same things that you seek.
Toss out the excuses of no time, no money, no this and that and create the space to do those fun things that make your heart sing. Go out and explore your world – a retreat, solitary walks, a day trip etc. Taking yourself away from your regular patch and its noise offers you opportunities to experience life through fresh eyes.
Growth will not happen when you stay confined in that comfortable, familiar bubble of yours. Challenge yourself to do new things that invigorate you.
What dreams did you have for your life before you deemed them impossible to achieve or they fell through the cracks of a frantic lifestyle? Revisit those dreams. Write them out and enjoy floating in your dreamland. Reconnecting with your dreams has a way of opening up your mind and floodgate of inspiration.
When you are healthier, you feel better in general. Eating right with regular exercises rewards you with a clearer mind.
You don’t have to stay stuck in the jam trying to figure it out all on your own. Reach out and ask for help, because sometimes a mere chat with someone you trust can ease the burden and provide great insight that will help you move forward.
Lovely prompt ‘hope & stay,’ from Ronovan for this week’s haiku. I came up with several versions and settled for these two.
Stay. Hope whispered to me.
You will be there sooner than expected.
See how far you’ve come.
Don’t lose hope.
Just stay committed and focused,
you will triumph.

Though your lines may look
all bent out of shape today,
Don’t despair!
Someday, you’ll look and see them
all fall in the right direction,
Keep repairing!

When crossing the bridge of difficulties
don’t forget your knapsack of determination
wear your best boots of hope
and your favourite pullover of faith
toss on a scarf of good attitude
cinch your belt of positive thoughts
with a compass of patience
you are set to go.
You start with you and end with you.
