Wet Haiku

More Than Rain

Running here and there
Between raindrops falling fast
Upon our wet self.

What is up with all this rain?  I feel like maybe building an ark would not be a bad idea some days.  We had maybe a number of days with no rain but this summer overall has been very wet!

Is Fall in the Air?

Sir James Matthew Barrie

"Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves."

One of my close friends that I've known for over a couple of decades recently gave me a card with this quote on it.  I had never read this quote before but really liked it.

It's true but sometimes what we see is a reflection of ourselves in others.  I find this ironic because a friend I know that is negative about others is also negative about herself.  Another friend I know is always pointing out to me that this person or that person has some sort of mental issue and now I'm beginning to wonder about her mental state.  Listen to the person next to you and see what they point out.  Do you see that in them?

I have another close friend that once sent me a Christmas card that read, "Some of my best friends are flakes" amidst a flurry of snowflakes.  I took it in a positive light under the circumstances.  So don't flake out unless it's winter!

The Hike

What is transformational leadership?  Do you have what it takes to be a leader?  I was speaking to someone recently about some issues I was having with the level of appropriate professionalism I was seeing being displayed by different people I know.  If you had to do a market analysis of a person who is in the public eye how would you tell them that some of their actions and speech are inappropriate?  Would you tell them?  Or just let them wing it?  Well, that would be the question!  The Hike is the book he recommended reading.  So go tell someone to "take a hike" today!

Just because I'm reclusive...

Me & My Shadow

I have to say 
that really 
the only thing 
I want so close 
to me is simply 
just my shadow.  
No more poking, 
prodding, 
bumping 
or touching 
because...  
Just because...

Some people know what it is to be respectful of someone's personal space and then there are the space invaders.  What are you?  A respectful person or a space invader?  And not the gaming variety.  Have a good night, don't let the bed bugs bite!

"Daring to Dream means Daring to Live."

Do you dare to dream today?  What does it mean to live life to the fullest?  We all have an innate desire to see our dreams come true so how would you feel if someone stomped on your dream because they thought their dream was better than yours?  The thing about dreams is that they are unique.  We each have a dream that is different from each others.  It's an awesome thing to help someone realize their dreams as long as they realize that you still have your own.
