contentment... in the mail

I shop all

year round for little gifts

for several people

it only makes

sense to get them wrapped;

mailed on time

those overseas or

those I haven’t seen in

ages...get ready!

good fortune right now.

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.

domestic science?

all those tiffs;

little piffles in the picture;

wrinkles to iron

blow off steam

then smooth the cloth before

nothing is left

too often one

witnesses the ‘might haves’ or

‘could have beens’

believe you can

accomplish much with smiles and

soft soothing words

make the effort;

be the solution while remaining

‘true to yourself’

life are, you are always the solution.

if you Google search images for double and triple halos around the moon

go to the images and the 11th line 5th from the left there is a photo by

Sergio Montifur - that is the closest to what I saw

rescued

spider builds webs -

belongs not behind the door;

no flies there

tissue swept into

a small container and transported

out of doors

little web slinger

hangs by their thread swung

into the ivy

still warm enough

at eight in the evening

to be saved...

hardly time to

blink all those little eyes

at the surprise!

Inspired by: The way out of a trap is to study the trap itself:

Driven by Drivel

What’s the question?

Answer me this pesky telemarketers;

Does ‘it’ pay?

Your incessant nagging;

my answering machine is off

more than on.

As well as

my phone ringers - so I

am not disturbed.

OK my being

disturbed is debatable - but at

least, I win.

©JP/dh

Inspired by: Use an answering machine more often.
