like anything else

your telephone is a tool

to be wisely used

landlines or cellphones do not

need to be glued to your ear

nor do outside sales

have to have a gripping sway

on how you live your life

Karma is cause and effect. Dharma means cosmic law.

Yoga is enlightenment through movement and Tao is the

practice of acting in harmony with the fundamental essence

of everything you encounter.

Note: my haiku (or other forms) are my interpretations

or of how I might put the inspirational sentence

into practice, for me.  Also, I am going in my own order.

Additional Note: Still aggrieved with telemarketers.

Got four calls yesterday, and ignored them all!

Thought when I had time, for fun I looked them up :)

and gave the owners, that map

kept a copy of it

for myself too - to see how

our neighborhood grew

expect lines to be long, and

be pleasant while waiting there

enjoy the extra steps

listen to your footfalls and

count your blessings all
