Elements of Persuasion (Haiku Series #370)

Patience

Darkness of morning

Massive thunderstorm gathers—

Waiting light of peace

Transition

Nighttime without joy

Storm’s anger now exhausted—

Brilliant sunrise

Answers

Today’s windy breath

Questions about tomorrow—

Navigating hope

The mediocre teacher tells.  The good teacher explains.  The superior teacher demonstrates.  But the great teacher inspires.

Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character.

William Arthur Ward (1921-1994) was an American motivational writer.

Sweetened Inspiration

From the words of American naturalist, writer and philosopher, Henry David Thoreau:  “Nature is but another name for health, and the seasons are but different states of health.”

Nature’s own therapy

Spring’s refreshing garden

Filled with colors of peace

Bearing life’s fresh pardon

 

Daily snapshot of hope

Each replenishing choice

Picked from nature’s goodness

Sharing next calming voice

 

Prime time’s blessed season

Signs of spirit reborn

Focused on healing light

Escaping from life’s thorns

 

Source of brighter outlook

Images praise with joy

Sweetened inspiration

Renewing vows deploy

 

Love accents morning air

Slightest breeze coming forth

Destined for harmony

Creating life’s true north

Emily Dickinson Quotes

Photo by Stuart Robinson on Pexels.com

Fame is a bee.  It has a song.  It has a sting.  Ah, too, it has a wing.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul–and sings the tunes without the words–and never stops at all.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) was an American poet.  Little known during her life, Dickinson has become to be regarded as one of America’s most respected poets.
