Learning from Strength
Looking to conquer
Bullies search for life’s island—
Mankind’s weakest link

Learning from Honesty
Remember always
Our mirror’s self-reflection—
Misses life’s real truth

Learning from Tasks
Life’s biggest challenge
Constructing each new puzzle—
Piece follows each piece

A great set of Haiku! I like the last one best. One can learn a lot by doing small tasks with love – step by step.

Richard, ALL of these learnings are beautifully written. I can’t choose just one as they all spoke to me in different ways. I love the depth of wisdom that comes from the “simplicity” of truthful words.

Jim, I appreciate your thoughtful affirmation. The “teacher” in me has a way of showing up in some of my writing themes. Enjoy the rest of your break. My two daughters who teach return to the classroom on Monday.
