Elfje and haiku :

Have no doubts

Belief

in oneself

promotes inner courage;

strength becomes beautiful and

visible

*

books may hold lessons

that fit basic needs for most -

be one of a kind

be kind, honorable and

courteous to everyone

**

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.

Elfje and haiku :

Golf with your Dad

sports

with family

can be fun

I golf with my

hubby

*

small round white balls roll

into tiny holes on greens -

walking with long sticks

calling ‘fore’ to warn others

of our errant shots - we laugh

just for our pleasure

no stress, we drive and putter

‘par’ for our course.

Elfje and haiku :

Walk Tall

walk

straight, true

head held high

melting the miles of

day

when happily done

when successfully achieved

where all the goals that were set
