Haiku my Heart #37 ~ Persistence

Holding true balance
through life's turbulent ocean,
ebbs and flows in waves.
I have read, and I'm inclined to agree
the occasions of perfect balance
are few, and not held for long.

My yoga practice bears this out,
persistence is the answer!

aahhh...
perfection!

we must be
in the same flow
this friday...

my haiku today
is about waves
bringing me
back
my balance...



isn't that something!

Yes, dear Ms. Foxy, life itself is a balancing act, and we are probably balanced more often than we realize, we just aren't paying attention. It is a good haiku that reminds of this, now it's up to us to put it into practice.

peace

dear one,
even the moon waxes and wanes. it is all apart of deep mindfulness and ultimate grace.
i love the sea. such a perfect teacher always willing to reflect the light.

love to you my dear sweet friend.
My dad's favorite saying was, "Life is a series of trade-offs." The idea of balance was foreign to him. It was one thing or the other. Kinda like me!
My dear Sue,
I think that there are very few of us who live our lives in balance but the fact that you are disciplining yourself to a practice speaks well of your desire to have a deeper interior life. I think that is a beautiful thing. Water is a wonderful metaphor really. We are, after all 95 percent water so if there is ebb and flow in our ability to balance, perhaps it is because of the pull of the moon or the position of the planets. There are so many things involved here.
Here is a lovely little sutra to remind you about balance:

Continuum

A Continuum ~> continual sequence of ~> elemental change ~> By far this is the most difficult post written by myself, ever. I have not visited this place for sometime... I have been 'lying low' as an old friend used to put it, not low through depression or anything like that but since my love passed away parts of my known world have passed too. I have difficulty recognizing the landscape around me, I'm lying low so that I can absorb some of the new terrain. I am still quite dizzy, it's going to take some time... Much of what I wrote about here in this space would involve a brief glimpse of 'my love' and our life together. I had thought of closing 'Finding my Bliss', for a pivotal part of everything this blog has stood for seemed on the surface of things to be missing! But as the days have come and gone I am beginning to look at things in a different light and although I am grieving for my love I find I am l feeling his prese

Warrior Woman Detour

Yearning clear blue skies to brighten the road for ease, to step light of heart... Detour intersect is warrior woman's path she must tread alone, her only companion Om lifts a weighted heart... feeling vibrational warmth, she lights momentum... My heart is weighed down at the moment, we are waiting for scan results, my love has been in constant debilitating pain since before Christmas, I'm having a nasty IBS flare-up, I'm doing warrior woman work! I am grateful for this Friday morning ritual ~ Haiku my Heart, it is a wonderful distraction from the everyday, focusing on and fitting feelings into 575 syllables... Thanks to our Rebecca for hosting ~> Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon
